SB 563: Repealing exemptions from Division of Personnel

Senate Bill 563 repeals specific exemptions that allowed three West Virginia state agencies to operate outside the standard Division of Personnel's rules. It removes special personnel provisions for the Department of Transportation (§5F-2-8), the Tax Division (§11B-1-8), and the Bureau for Social Services (§49-10-101-103). The bill requires these agencies to follow the state's standard hiring, pay, and personnel management procedures governed by the Division of Personnel. This change directly affects how these agencies manage their staff, bringing them under unified state personnel oversight.
