SB908 allows the Governor to set and adjust the lottery director's salary annually.

SB908 amends the West Virginia Code to provide flexibility in setting the lottery director's salary. The Governor can set the director's salary in an initial appointment letter, and it can be adjusted annually by subsequent letters, subject to the lottery's budget. The director and executive secretary are ineligible for civil service coverage. The director must be qualified by training and experience, have a good reputation, and pass a background investigation. The director cannot hold political office while serving.
