EMS Retirement Equity, Tax Relief, and Workforce Support Act modifies retirement benefits and tax treatment for EMS personnel in West Virginia.

The EMS Retirement Equity, Tax Relief, and Workforce Support Act amends the West Virginia Emergency Medical Services Retirement System (EMSRS). It modifies the calculation of retirement benefits based on the five highest-earning years of a member's career. The Act also exempts EMSRS pension income from West Virginia personal income tax and removes the 1040-hour annual work limitation for retired EMS personnel who return to service in designated areas of need.
