Raise cost of living threshold for retired municipal police officers

Summary

The bill changes West Virginia law so that the cost‑of‑living increase for supplemental pension benefits of municipal police, firefighters, and water‑sewage employees is applied to the first $30,000 of their annual pension instead of only the first $15,000. It affects current and future retirees, survivors, and disabled beneficiaries, giving them potentially larger annual adjustments tied to inflation. The change aims to better reflect rising living costs for these retirees.
