Allowing certain municipal plan participants to use accrued leave toward credited service upon retirement

Summary

The measure would permit municipal police officers and firefighters in West Virginia who are covered by municipal pension plans to convert their unused annual or sick leave into additional credited service when they retire. The conversion cannot be used to meet the basic 20‑year service requirement and the extra credit is limited to an additional 1% of the retiree’s average salary. This change aims to give retirees more flexibility in how they achieve pension benefits.
