HB 5175 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to the Municipal Police Officers and Firefighters Retirement System.

HB 5175 clarifies how campus police officers at West Virginia state institutions can use earned leave days for retirement credit under the Municipal Police Officers and Firefighters Retirement System. The bill specifies that these officers may only count leave days earned *after* they joined the retirement system, not leave accrued before participation began. It also corrects outdated language in the law to ensure campus police officers can properly elect to join the retirement system. This change directly affects campus police officers who are members of the retirement system and standardizes their retirement credit calculation.
