Raising cost of living increase for certain municipal employees

Summary

The legislation changes West Virginia law so that the annual cost‑of‑living increase for certain municipal retirees is applied to the first $45,000 of their pension, rather than just the first $15,000. It affects retired police officers, firefighters and employees of water‑works or sewage systems, as well as their survivors and disability pensioners. The goal is to boost the purchasing power of these supplemental pension benefits.
