To create a tuition reimbursement program for Corrections employees.
HB 2527 creates a tuition reimbursement program for West Virginia Corrections employees. It provides 20% annual tuition coverage for undergraduate courses at state colleges/universities, with full 100% reimbursement after five years of continued employment. Employees must first exhaust other financial aid (like Pell Grants), maintain academic progress, and prove employment to qualify. The program directly affects Corrections officers seeking to earn degrees while working.
