Intr Text

Establishes a geographic assignment compensation differential for West Virginia State Police members.

The bill creates a Geographic Assignment Compensation Differential for sworn members of the West Virginia State Police. This differential is intended to address the disproportionate financial burden on troopers assigned to high-cost regions. The State Budget Office will designate geographic zones based on housing cost indicators, such as median residential real property values and rental rates. The differential is calculated as a percentage supplement to the member's base salary, corresponding to the degree housing costs exceed the statewide median.
