Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study the feasibility, costs, and policy considerations associated with providing cost-of-living adjustments for public school teachers, school service personnel, and members of the West Virginia State Police.

This bill asks a state legislative committee to study whether West Virginia should offer cost-of-living adjustments to public school teachers, school service staff, and state police officers. The study would examine the financial costs, implementation options, and potential effects on salaries and staffing for these groups. It requires the committee to report its findings and recommendations to the legislature in 2027, with the cost of the study paid from existing legislative funds.
