S.J.Res.8

Allows an appointed sheriff to serve two consecutive terms if appointed with less than two years left in the term.

This bill proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution to modify term limits for sheriffs. Specifically, it allows a person appointed to fill a sheriff's term that has less than two years remaining to be eligible for election for two consecutive terms. The amendment would not apply to the current sheriff in office at the time of ratification. The proposed change aims to permit a person appointed to fill a sheriff's term to be eligible for election to two consecutive terms if the appointed term is less than two years.
