West Virginia HB4744 updates the salaries of county elected officials to reflect current inflation rates.

West Virginia HB4744 amends Section 7-7-4 of the Code of West Virginia to update the salaries of county elected officials, including county commissioners and other officials such as sheriffs, county clerks, circuit clerks, assessors, and prosecuting attorneys. The bill sets new salary rates for each class of county, effective after July 1, 2025. It requires county officials to file a written request for the salary increase, and if they fail to do so, their salary will remain at the previous level.
