Authorizing sheriffs who are members of the public retirement system to retire upon attaining the age of sixty-two with eight or more years of services

HB 4887 would amend West Virginia's retirement law to allow sheriffs who are members of the public retirement system to retire at age 62 with eight years of service, rather than the 10 years required for other new members under current rules. This provision applies specifically to sheriffs not participating in another retirement system administered by the retirement board. The bill adds a new subsection to the retirement law creating this exception for sheriffs. It directly affects sheriffs who meet the age and service requirements under this revised provision.
