HB 4514 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Modify determination of high 3 years for Sheriff’s Retirement System

HB 4514 modifies how West Virginia deputy sheriffs' retirement benefits are calculated by changing the method for determining their final average salary. Instead of using previous calculation rules, it specifies that the highest three years of compensation within the member's last 10 years of service will now be used. This directly affects active and retired deputy sheriffs enrolled in the West Virginia Deputy Sheriff Retirement Fund. The bill is procedural, adjusting a calculation method without creating new benefits or funding.
