To give County Sheriffs overall approval in requirements for the position of Bailiff

HB 2021 amends West Virginia law to give county sheriffs final authority over whether law-enforcement officers meet requirements to serve as bailiffs in their counties. Currently, a court security board compiled a list of qualified officers, but this bill shifts the final approval decision to the sheriff of the county where the bailiff would serve. The sheriff would determine if an officer is qualified, meets position requirements, or is the appropriate choice for the role. This change directly affects county sheriffs (who gain this authority) and bailiff candidates (whose qualifications are now judged by sheriffs instead of the board). The bill does not alter funding, duties, or existing certification standards for bailiffs.
