Relating generally to allowing the Supreme Court of Appeals discretion to create uniform pay scales for all levels of judicial support staff.

HB 4360 allows West Virginia's Supreme Court of Appeals to establish uniform pay scales for judicial support staff instead of using fixed salary amounts. It directly affects magistrate court clerks, magistrate assistants, and deputy clerks - positions currently paid $54,596 and $49,232 annually under statute. The bill replaces specific salary figures with a flexible pay scale managed by the Supreme Court's Administrative Director, while still permitting these staff to receive general state employee salary increases. This change aims to streamline compensation adjustments across judicial offices without altering job duties or eligibility for broader state pay adjustments.
