Whereas, Tragedy befell Mercer County on August 16, 2018, when the vehicles of three employees of the West Virginia Parkways Authority’s Courtesy Patrol were struck while on duty by a tractor-trailer at mile marker 23 on the West Virginia Turnpike; and

Whereas, Emergency responders pronounced Nathan Thompson, 32, of Princeton, dead at the scene. Mr. Thompson’s nephew, Richard Lambert, 21, of Kegley, died at a Roanoke, Virginia, hospital on the following day. The third victim, Ethan Kestner, 19, also of Princeton, is still recovering from his injuries; and

Whereas, All three young men were known to be good employees of the turnpike authority, as well as decent, law-abiding citizens. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Lambert were both known as beloved family members. Since the time of the tragic accident, the entire Mercer County community has been saddened by the loss of the two young men and united in its thoughts and prayers for the recovery of Mr. Kestner; and

Whereas, All three young men are a special fraternity of employees who are partners in public service. Many public servants toil in often dangerous situations. While they take extraordinary precautions to ensure the safety of themselves and the public they serve, there is always an element of potential danger inherent in any occupation that must be performed in close proximity to large, heavy, fast-moving vehicles; and

Whereas, Partners in public service hope to return home to their families at the end of each duty assignment. When that does not happen, the sadness that ensues is shared by more than just their families and friends; and

Whereas, It is fitting that an enduring memorial be established to commemorate Nathan Thompson and Richard Lambert; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That the Division of Highways is hereby requested to name bridge number 28-19-31.63 (28A066), locally known as Flat Top Overpass Bridge No. 1, carrying U.S. 19 over Interstate 77 in Mercer County, the “Thompson and Lambert Memorial Bridge”; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Division of Highways is hereby requested to have made and be placed signs identifying the bridge as the “Thompson and Lambert Memorial Bridge”; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.

            Com. Sub. for S. C. R. 45 - “Recognizing the Cabell Midland High School Marching Knight Band for its outstanding achievements, and for its dedication and commitment to fine performances of the marching arts.”

Whereas, The Cabell Midland Marching Knight Band program has, since its inception in 1994, provided exceptional musical performances; and

Whereas, The band has won 102 Marching Band Grand Championships, six Marshall University Tri-State Marching Band Championships, and three National Band Grand Championships; and

Whereas, The band has excelled in-state as the featured band for 13 years at the Joyful Night Celebration at the State Capitol and is an eight-time winner of the West Virginia Black Walnut Festival Honor Band Award; and

Whereas, The Cabell Midland Marching Knight Band have been named the West Virginia State Marching Band Invitational State Honor Band for seven consecutive years and are the current reigning State Marching Band Champions; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate:

That the Senate hereby recognizes the Cabell Midland Marching Knight Band for its outstanding achievements, and for its dedication and commitment to fine performances of the marching arts; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Senate extends its sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Cabell Midland Marching Knight Band for proudly representing their school, county, and the great State of West Virginia; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Cabell Midland Marching Knight Band.

(a) Every provider contract entered into, amended, extended, or renewed by an insurer on or after August 1, 2001, shall contain specific provisions which shall require the insurer to adhere to and comply with the following minimum fair business standards in the processing and payment of claims for health care services:

(1) An insurer shall either pay or deny a clean claim within 40 days of receipt of the claim if submitted manually and within 30 days of receipt of the claim if submitted electronically, except in the following circumstances:

(A) Another payor or party is responsible for the claim;

(B) The insurer is coordinating benefits with another payor;

(C) The provider has already been paid for the claim;

(D) The claim was submitted fraudulently; or

(E) There was a material misrepresentation in the claim.

(2) Each insurer shall maintain a written or electronic record of the date of receipt of a claim. The person submitting the claim shall be entitled to inspect the record on request and to rely on that record or on any other relevant evidence as proof of the fact of receipt of the claim. If an insurer fails to maintain an electronic or written record of the date a claim is received, the claim shall be considered received three business days after the claim was submitted based upon the written or electronic record of the date of submittal by the person submitting the claim.

(3) An insurer shall, within 30 days after receipt of a claim, request electronically or in writing from the person submitting the claim any information or documentation that the insurer reasonably believes will be required to process and pay the claim or to determine if the claim is a clean claim. The insurer shall use all reasonable efforts to ask for all desired information in one request, and shall if necessary, within 15 days of the receipt of the information from the first request, only request or require additional information one additional time if such additional information could not have been reasonably identified at the time of the original request or to specifically identify a material failure to provide the information requested in the initial request. Upon receipt of the information requested under this subsection which the insurer reasonably believes will be required to adjudicate the claim or to determine if the claim is a clean claim, an insurer shall either pay or deny the claim within 30 days. No insurer may refuse to pay a claim for health care services rendered pursuant to a provider contract which are covered benefits if the insurer fails to timely notify the person submitting the claim within 30 days of receipt of the claim of the additional information requested unless such failure was caused in material part by the person submitting the claims: Provided, That nothing herein shall preclude such an insurer from imposing a retroactive denial of payment of such a claim if permitted by the provider contract unless such retroactive denial of payment of the claim would violate §33-45-2(a)(7) of this code. This subsection does not require an insurer to pay a claim that is not a clean claim except as provided herein.

(4) Interest, at a rate of 10 percent per annum, accruing after the 40-day period provided in §33-45-2(a)(1) of this code owing or accruing on any claim under any provider contract or under any applicable law, shall be paid and accompanied by an explanation of the assessment on each claim of interest paid, without necessity of demand, at the time the claim is paid or within 30 days thereafter.

(5) Every insurer shall establish and implement reasonable policies to permit any provider with which there is a provider contract:

(A) To promptly confirm in advance during normal business hours by a process agreed to between the parties whether the health care services to be provided are a covered benefit; and

(B) To determine the insurer's requirements applicable to the provider (or to the type of health care services which the provider has contracted to deliver under the provider contract) for:

(i) Precertification or authorization of coverage decisions;

(ii) Retroactive reconsideration of a certification or authorization of coverage decision or retroactive denial of a previously paid claim;

(iii) Provider-specific payment and reimbursement methodology; and

(iv) Other provider-specific, applicable claims processing and payment matters necessary to meet the terms and conditions of the provider contract, including determining whether a claim is a clean claim.

(C) Every insurer shall make available to the provider within 20 business days of receipt of a request, reasonable access either electronically or otherwise, to all the policies that are applicable to the particular provider or to particular health care services identified by the provider. In the event the provision of the entire policy would violate any applicable copyright law, the insurer may instead comply with this subsection by timely delivering to the provider a clear explanation of the policy as it applies to the provider and to any health care services identified by the provider.

(6) Every insurer shall pay a clean claim if the insurer has previously authorized the health care service or has advised the provider or enrollee in advance of the provision of health care services that the health care services are medically necessary and a covered benefit, unless:

(A) The documentation for the claim provided by the person submitting the claim clearly fails to support the claim as originally authorized; or

(B) The insurer's refusal is because:

(i) Another payor or party is responsible for the payment;

(ii) The provider has already been paid for the health care services identified on the claim;

(iii) The claim was submitted fraudulently or the authorization was based in whole or material part on erroneous information provided to the insurer by the provider, enrollee, or other person not related to the insurer;

(iv) The person receiving the health care services was not eligible to receive them on the date of service and the insurer did not know, and with the exercise of reasonable care could not have known, of the person's eligibility status;

(v) There is a dispute regarding the amount of charges submitted; or

(vi) The service provided was not a covered benefit and the insurer did not know, and with the exercise of reasonable care could not have known, at the time of the certification that the service was not covered.

(7) A previously paid claim may be retroactively denied only in accordance with this subdivision.

(A) No insurance company may retroactively deny a previously paid claim unless:

(i) The claim was submitted fraudulently;

(ii) The claim contained material misrepresentations;

(iii) The claim payment was incorrect because the provider was already paid for the health care services identified on the claim or the health care services were not delivered by the provider;

(iv) The provider was not entitled to reimbursement;

(v) The service provided was not covered by the health benefit plan; or

(vi) The insured was not eligible for reimbursement.

(B) A provider to whom a previously paid claim has been denied by a health plan in accordance with this section shall, upon receipt of notice of retroactive denial by the plan, notify the health plan within 40 days of the provider’s intent to pay or demand written explanation of the reasons for the denial.

(i) Upon receipt of explanation for retroactive denial, the provider shall reimburse the plan within 30 days for allowing an offset against future payments or provide written notice of dispute.

(ii) Disputes shall be resolved between the parties within 30 days of receipt of notice of dispute. The parties may agree to a process to resolve the disputes in a provider contract.

(iii) Upon resolution of dispute, the provider shall pay any amount due or provide written authorization for an offset against future payments.

(C) A health plan may retroactively deny a claim only for the reasons set forth in §33-45-2(a)(7)(A)(iii) through §33-45-2(a)(7)(A)(vi) of this code for a period of one year from the date the claim was originally paid. There shall be no time limitations for retroactively denying a claim for the reasons set forth in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above §33-45-2(a)(7)(A)(i) and §33-45-2(a)(7)(A)(ii) of this code.

(8) No provider contract may fail to include or attach at the time it is presented to the provider for execution:

(A) The fee schedule, reimbursement policy or statement as to the manner in which claims will be calculated and paid which is applicable to the provider or to the range of health care services reasonably expected to be delivered by that type of provider on a routine basis; and

(B) All material addenda, schedules, and exhibits thereto applicable to the provider or to the range of health care services reasonably expected to be delivered by that type of provider under the provider contract.

(9) No amendment to any provider contract or to any addenda, schedule, or exhibit, or new addenda, schedule, exhibit, applicable to the provider to the extent that any of them involve payment or delivery of care by the provider, or to the range of health care services reasonably expected to be delivered by that type of provider, is effective as to the provider, unless the provider has been provided with the applicable portion of the proposed amendment, or of the proposed new addenda, schedule, or exhibit, and has failed to notify the insurer within 20 business days of receipt of the documentation of the provider’s intention to terminate the provider contract at the earliest date thereafter permitted under the provider contract.

(10) In the event that the insurer’s provision of a policy required to be provided under §33-45-2(a)(8) and §33-45-2(a)(9) of this code would violate any applicable copyright law, the insurer may instead comply with this section by providing a clear, written explanation of the policy as it applies to the provider.

(11) The insurer shall complete a credential check of any new provider and accept or reject the provider within four months following the submission of the provider’s completed application: Provided, That time frame may be extended for an additional three months because of delays in primary source verification. The insurer shall make available to providers a list of all information required to be included in the application. A provider who is permitted by the insurer to provide services and who provides services during the credentialing period shall be paid for the services if the provider’s application is approved: Provided, That nothing in this subdivision prevents an insurer from obtaining refund of overpayments to a provider when the provider fails to become credentialed after having gone through the credentialing process.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, in the processing of any payment of claims for health care services rendered by providers under provider contracts and in performing under its provider contracts, every insurer subject to regulation by this article shall adhere to and comply with the minimum fair business standards required under §33-45-2(a) of this code. The commissioner has jurisdiction to determine if an insurer has violated the standards set forth in §33-45-2(a) of this code by failing to include the requisite provisions in its provider contracts. The commissioner has jurisdiction to determine if the insurer has failed to implement the minimum fair business standards set out in §33-45-2(a)(1) and §33-45-2(a)(2) of this code in the performance of its provider contracts.

(c) No insurer is in violation of this section if its failure to comply with this section is caused in material part by the person submitting the claim or if the insurer’s compliance is rendered impossible due to matters beyond the insurer’s reasonable control, such as an act of God, insurrection, strike, fire, or power outages, which are not caused in material part by the insurer.”

On motion for leave the following resolutions were introduced (Originating in the Committee on Education and reported with the recommendation that they each be adopted, but that they first be referred to the Committee on Rules), which were read by their titles, as follows:

By Delegates Hamrick, Atkinson, Bibby, Cooper, Dean, Doyle, Estep-Burton, Evans,             Hanna, Higginbotham, Hornbuckle, Jennings, J. Kelly, Rohrbach, R. Thompson,      Toney and Zukoff:

H. C. R. 94 - “Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to conduct an interim study on the deficiencies within programs that provide first responder training in West Virginia,”

Whereas, paramedics, firefighters, emergency medical responders, and other first responders are vital to the publics’ safety; and

Whereas, it is in the state’s interest to explore all opportunities for improving first responder training; and

Whereas, deficiencies in first responder training have been noted in HB2586 (2019) may be addressed to knowledgably improve the programs; and

Whereas, research regarding deficiencies in training and areas needing more first responders would be in the best interests of all West Virginias.

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to conduct an interim study on the deficiencies in first responder training and areas of the state deficient in first responders; and it be

Further Resolved, That a report of the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the study, together with drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate the recommendations be reported to the Legislature as its 2020 Regular Session; and be it

Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this study, to prepare a report and draft legislation are requested to be paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance. 

And,

By Delegates Hamrick, Atkinson, Bibby, Cooper, Dean, Doyle, Estep-Burton, Evans,             Hanna, Higginbotham, Hornbuckle, Jennings, J. Kelly, Rohrbach, R. Thompson,      Toney and Zukoff:

H. C. R. 95 - “Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to conduct an interim study on public school finance.”

Whereas, State programs for financing public schools generally consist of: (1) A basic foundation amount necessary for school staffing, programs and operations for which the responsibility is allocated between the local school district based on the district’s relative wealth and state aid to close the gap; (2) Additional state appropriated funding or “categorical funds” restricted for specific programmatic and other purposes and for facilities improvement; and (3) Federal funds expended in accordance with the Every Student Succeeds Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and associated federal regulations; and

Whereas, States typically adjust the foundation amounts of the various districts to reflect certain high cost variances such as differences in regional costs, disproportionately large or small districts, high poverty areas and isolated schools or districts; and

Whereas, Many states provide for transportation funding separately from other educational costs, often through a separate formula, because the per pupil costs for transportation are impacted by factors that do not affect other school expenses and can vary greatly from district to district; and

Whereas, School funding formulas are often viewed as overly complex sequences of computations and rules comprehensible to only the handful of personnel steeped in school finance but it is none the less important for policymakers to recognize how the formulas can either restrict or accommodate policy changes, adequately adjust for the increasingly diverse financial circumstances and needs among the state’s school systems and facilitate innovation; therefore be it

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to conduct an interim study on public school finance; and be it

Further Resolved, That a report of the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the study, together with drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate the recommendations be reported to the Legislature at its 2020 Regular Session; and be it

Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this study, to prepare a report and draft necessary legislation are requested to be paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance.

ARTICLE 16.  THE MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS COURT ACT.

§62-16-1.  Short title.

            This may be cited as the Military Service Members Court Act.

§62-16-2.  Legislative findings.

            The Legislature recognizes that while most veterans are strengthened by their military service, the combat experiences of many veterans have unfortunately left a growing number of veterans who suffer from issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and traumatic brain injury.  A growing body of research shows that one in five veterans will have symptoms of a mental illness, mental health disorder or cognitive impairment.  One in six veterans who served in either Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom suffer from substance abuse and related issues.  As a result, many veterans have found themselves in the criminal court system charged with crimes which may be directly attributable to these service-related issues. 

            The Legislature further recognizes that a Military Service Members Court is necessary to link veterans with the programs, benefits, and services that are necessary to help them overcome these issues and provide them with rehabilitation services instead of incarceration. 

            Given the context of veteran life, especially given their past training and experiences in the Armed Forces, it is reasonably anticipated and likely that military service members would respond favorably to a structured environment. The Military Service Members Court is a professional, structured and monitored program which mandates and provides participant accountability and responsibility, including mandatory court appearances, treatment and counseling sessions, as well as frequent and random testing for drug and alcohol use.     However, the Legislature also finds that some may still struggle. Those are the veterans who need the structure and support of a Military Service Members Court program such the most. Without the structure of a Military Service Members Court program mentally ill and challenged veterans may well reoffend, remain in the criminal court system and suffer under the emotional, physical and mental yoke of substance abuse.

            The Legislature creates the Military Service Members Court to ensure that these veterans in need are able meet their obligations to themselves, their family, their loved ones, the court, and their community.

(i) The commissioner may extend the minimum period of revocation and the minimum period of participation in the program for a person who violates the terms and conditions of participation in the program as found in this section, or legislative rule, or any agreement or contract between the participant and the division or program service provider. If the commissioner finds that any person participating in the program pursuant to §17C-5-2b of this code must be removed therefrom for violation(s) of the terms and conditions thereof, he or she shall notify the person, the court that imposed the term of participation in the program and the prosecuting attorney in the county wherein the order imposing participation in the program was entered.

(j) A person whose license has been suspended for a first offense of driving while under the age of 21 with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.02 percent, or more, by weight, but less than 0.08 percent, or more, by weight, who has completed the educational program and who has not violated the terms required by the commissioner of the person's participation in the program is entitled to the reinstatement of his or her driver's license six months from the date the person is permitted to operate a motor vehicle by the commissioner. When a license has been reinstated pursuant to this subsection, the records ordering the suspension, records of any administrative hearing, records of any blood alcohol test results and all other records pertaining to the suspension shall be expunged by operation of law: Provided, That a person is entitled to expungement under the provisions of this subsection only once. The expungement shall be accomplished by physically marking the records to show that the records have been expunged and by securely sealing and filing the records. Expungement has the legal effect as if the suspension never occurred. The records may not be disclosed or made available for inspection and in response to a request for record information, the commissioner shall reply that no information is available. Information from the file may be used by the commissioner for research and statistical purposes so long as the use of the information does not divulge the identity of the person.

(k) In addition to any other penalty imposed by this code, any person who operates a motor vehicle not equipped with an approved motor vehicle alcohol test and lock system during that person's participation in the Motor Vehicle Alcohol Test and Lock Program is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be confined in jail for a period not less than one month nor more than six months and fined not less than $100 nor more than $500. Any person who attempts to bypass the alcohol test and lock system is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be confined in jail not more than six months and fined not less than $100 nor more than $1,000: Provided, That notwithstanding any provision of this code to the contrary, a person enrolled and participating in the test and lock program may operate a motor vehicle solely at his or her job site if the operation is a condition of his or her employment. For the purpose of this section, ‘job site’ does not include any street or highway open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular traffic.”

CHAPTER 5. GENERAL POWERS AND AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNOR, SECRETARY OF STATE, AND ATTORNEY GENERAL; BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS; MISCELLANEOUS AGENCIES, COMMISSIONS, OFFICES, PROGRAMS, ETC.

ARTICLE 10. WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ACT.

§5-10-48. Reemployment after retirement; options for holder of elected public office.

(a) The Legislature finds that a compelling state interest exists in maintaining an actuarially sound retirement system and that this interest necessitates that certain limitations be placed upon an individual’s ability to retire from the system and to then later return to state employment as an employee with a participating public employer while contemporaneously drawing an annuity from the system. The Legislature hereby further finds and declares that the interests of the public are served when persons having retired from public employment are permitted, within certain limitations, to render post-retirement employment in positions of public service, either in elected or appointed capacities. The Legislature further finds and declares that it has the need for qualified employees and that in many cases an employee of the Legislature will retire and be available to return to work for the Legislature as a per diem employee. The Legislature further finds and declares that in many instances these employees have particularly valuable expertise which the Legislature cannot find elsewhere. The Legislature further finds and declares that reemploying these persons on a limited per diem basis after they have retired is not only in the best interests of this state but has no adverse effect whatsoever upon the actuarial soundness of this particular retirement system.

(b) For the purposes of this section: (1) “Regularly employed on a full-time basis” means employment of an individual by a participating public employer, in a position other than as an elected or appointed public official, which normally requires 12 months per year service and at least 1,040 hours of service per year in that position; (2) “temporary full-time employment” or “temporary part-time employment” means employment of an individual on a temporary or provisional basis by a participating public employer, other than as an elected or appointed public official, in a position which does not otherwise render the individual as regularly employed; (3) “former employee of the Legislature” means any person who has retired from employment with the Legislature and who has at least 10 years’ contributing service with the Legislature; and (4) “reemployed by the Legislature” means a former employee of the Legislature who has been reemployed on a per diem basis not to exceed 175 days per calendar year.

(c) In the event If a retirant becomes regularly employed on a full-time basis by a participating public employer, payment of his or her annuity shall be suspended during the period of his or her reemployment and he or she shall become a contributing member to the retirement system. If his or her reemployment is for a period of one year or longer, his or her annuity shall be recalculated and he or she shall be granted an increased annuity due to the additional employment, the annuity to be computed according to §5-10-22 of this code. If his or her reemployment is for a period less than one year, he or she may request in writing that the employee and employer retirement contributions submitted during reemployment be credited to the participating public employer pursuant to §5-10-44 of this code, and his or her previous annuity shall be reinstated effective the first day of the month following termination of reemployment and the board’s receipt of written notice thereof. A retirant may accept legislative per diem, temporary full-time, or temporary part-time employment from a participating employer without suspending his or her retirement annuity so long as he or she does not receive annual compensation in excess of $20,000.

(d) Senior judges, justices, and magistrates. –

(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) of this section, a retired judge or justice who is recalled and assigned to temporary service as a senior judge or justice by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals may receive per diem compensation pursuant to the requirements of §51-9-10 of this code while continuing to receive his or her annuity.

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) of this section, a retired magistrate who is recalled and assigned to temporary service as a senior magistrate by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals may receive per diem compensation pursuant to the requirements of §50-1-6a of this code while continuing to receive his or her annuity.

(d) (e) In the event If a member retires and is then subsequently elected to a public office or is subsequently appointed to hold an elected public office, or is a former employee of the Legislature who has been reemployed by the Legislature, he or she has the option, notwithstanding subsection (c) of this section, to either:

(1) Continue to receive payment of his or her annuity while holding public office or during any reemployment of a former employee of the Legislature on a per diem basis, in addition to the salary he or she may be entitled to as an office holder or as a per diem reemployed former employee of the Legislature; or

(2) Suspend the payment of his or her annuity and become a contributing member of the retirement system as provided in subsection (c) of this section. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, a member who is participating in the system as an elected public official may not retire from his or her elected position and commence to receive an annuity from the system and then be elected or reappointed to the same position unless and until a continuous 12-month period has passed since his or her retirement from the position:  Provided, That a former employee of the Legislature may not be reemployed by the Legislature on a per diem basis until at least 60 days after the employee has retired: Provided, however, That the limitation on compensation provided by subsection (c) of this section does not apply to the reemployed former employee: Provided further, That in no event may reemployment by the Legislature of a per diem employee exceed 175 days per calendar year.

(e) (f) A member who is participating in the system simultaneously as both a regular, full-time employee of a participating public employer and as an elected or appointed member of the legislative body of the state or any political subdivision may, upon meeting the age and service requirements of this article, elect to retire from his or her regular full-time state employment and may commence to receive an annuity from the system without terminating his or her position as a member of the legislative body of the state or political subdivision:  Provided, That the retired member shall not, during the term of his or her retirement and continued service as a member of the legislative body of a political subdivision, be eligible to continue his or her participation as a contributing member of the system and shall not continue to accrue any additional service credit or benefits in the system related to the continued service.

(f) (g) Notwithstanding the provisions of §5-10-27b of this Code, any publicly elected member of the legislative body of any political subdivision or of the State Legislature, the Clerk of the House of Delegates, and the Clerk of the Senate may elect to commence receiving in-service retirement distributions from this system upon attaining the age of 70 and one-half years: Provided, That the member is eligible to retire under the provisions of §5-10-20 or §5-10-21 of this code: Provided, however, That the member elects to stop actively contributing to the system while receiving the in-service distributions.

(g) (h) The provisions of §5-10-22h of this code are not applicable to the amendments made to this section during the 2006 regular session.

CHAPTER 50. MAGISTRATE COURTS.

ARTICLE 1. COURTS AND OFFICERS.

§50-1-6a. Temporary appointment of retired magistrates.

(a) The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals is authorized and empowered to create a panel of senior magistrates to consist of, and to utilize the talent and experience of, retired magistrates of this state. The Supreme Court of Appeals shall promulgate rules providing for such senior magistrates to be assigned duties as needed and as feasible toward the objective of reducing caseloads and providing for replacement of magistrates who are unavailable. Provided, That reasonable payment shall be made to said senior magistrates on a per diem basis: Provided, however, That the per diem and retirement compensation of a senior magistrate shall not exceed the salary of a sitting magistrate and allowances shall also be made for necessary expenses pursuant to the travel regulations of the Supreme Court of Appeals.

(b) Senior magistrates recalled and assigned to service shall receive per diem compensation set by the Supreme Court of Appeals, but not to exceed $200 for each day actually served: Provided, That the combined total of per diem compensation and retirement benefits paid to a senior magistrate during a single calendar year may not exceed the annual salary of a sitting magistrate, except as set forth in subsection (c) of this section. 

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, for purposes of maintaining magisterial efficacy and continuity of magisterial decision-making, a senior magistrate may continue to receive per diem compensation after the combined total of per diem compensation and retirement benefits paid to the senior magistrate during that calendar year exceeds the annual salary of a sitting magistrate if the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Appeals enters an administrative order certifying there are certain extraordinary circumstances involving  the necessary absence of a sitting magistrate because of a protracted, but temporary, illness or medical condition or a lengthy suspension which necessitate the extended assignment of the senior magistrate. Immediately upon entering such an order, the chief justice shall submit copies of the order to the State Auditor and the State Treasurer.

(d) In addition to the compensation authorized by this section, senior magistrates recalled to service may be reimbursed for their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

CHAPTER 51. COURTS AND THEIR OFFICERS.

ARTICLE 9. RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR JUDGES OF COURTS OF RECORD.

§51-9-10. Services of senior judges and justices.

(a) The Legislature finds that:

(1) Section seven, article VIII of the Constitution of West Virginia expressly requires the Legislature to fix judicial salaries by statute, providing that: “[j]ustices, judges and magistrates shall receive the salaries fixed by law”.

(2) When originally enacted in 1949, this section of the code required any retired judge receiving retirement benefits to serve as a special judge, when assigned to temporary service, “without charge or compensation, per diem or otherwise to him”.

(3) In 1974, the Judicial Reorganization Amendment to the Constitution of West Virginia was ratified. Among other matters, in section eight, article VIII, the amendment addressed the ongoing practice of recalling retired judicial officers to service by empowering the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Appeals to recall a retired judge or justice to service, “with his permission and with the approval of the supreme court of appeals”, for temporary assignment.

(4) Absent from the Judicial Reorganization Amendment and article VIII of the Constitution of West Virginia is any provision authorizing the Supreme Court of Appeals to fix compensation for recalled judges or justices. Indeed, the Judicial Reorganization Amendment added language to section seven, article VIII of the Constitution of West Virginia, unequivocally stating that “[j]ustices, judges and magistrates shall receive the salaries fixed by law”.

(5) In 1975, the Legislature amended and reenacted this section of the code, which still then required any retired judge receiving retirement benefits to serve as a special judge, when assigned to temporary service “without charge or compensation, per diem or otherwise to him”.

(6) In 1991, the Legislature amended and reenacted this section of the code again, authorizing and empowering the Supreme Court of Appeals to create a panel of senior judges and justices “to be assigned duties as needed and as feasible toward the objective of reducing caseloads and providing speedier trials to litigants throughout the State”.

(7) The 1991 reenactment of this section of the code statutorily authorized, for the first time, “reasonable payment” to senior judges and justices “on a per diem basis”, and provided that “the per diem and retirement compensation of a senior judge shall not exceed the salary of a sitting judge”.

(8) In 2018, the West Virginia House of Delegates adopted and communicated Articles of Impeachment to the West Virginia Senate, naming justices of the Supreme Court of Appeals serving at that time as respondents. Several of the articles alleged that certain justices, each while serving as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Appeals, had intentionally signed contracts agreeing to pay retired judges recalled to service above the compensation limitations of this section of the code.

(9) In a petition to the Supreme Court of Appeals, styled State ex. rel. Workman v. Carmichael, one justice named as respondent in the 2018 impeachment proceedings challenged the constitutionality of the Articles of Impeachment in which she was named, including the articles alleging payment of senior judges above the limitations of this section of the code.

(10) In ruling on the petition in State ex. rel. Workman v. Carmichael, the Supreme Court of Appeals, at that time composed of five circuit judges temporarily assigned to sit as justices for that case, issued a writ of prohibition staying impeachment proceedings.

(11) In direct contradiction of section seven, article VIII of the Constitution of West Virginia, the decision in State ex. rel. Workman v. Carmichael held, in part, that this section of the code, providing for and limiting the compensation of senior judges, is “unconstitutional and unenforceable”.

(12) The majority opinion in State ex. rel. Workman v. Carmichael ignored the plain language of section seven, article VIII of the Constitution of West Virginia, which explicitly provides that “[j]ustices, judges and magistrates shall receive the salaries fixed by law”.

(13) Syllabus point four of the majority opinion in State ex. rel. Workman v. Carmichael mischaracterizes what the Legislature had done in enacting this section of the code, by providing that: “West Virginia Code §51-9-10 (1991) violates the Separation of Powers Clause of Article V, § 1 of the West Virginia Constitution, insofar as that statute seeks to regulate judicial appointment matters that are regulated exclusively by this Court pursuant to Article VIII, § 3 and § 8 of the West Virginia Constitution. Consequently, W.Va. Code §51-9-10, in its entirety, is unconstitutional and unenforceable”.

(14) Occasionally, circumstances may require the extended assignment of senior judges and justices, necessitating the Legislature to prescribe such circumstances when the limitations on compensation of senior judges and justices receiving retirement benefits may be exceeded.

(b) The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals is authorized and empowered to The Legislature recognizes and acknowledges the authority of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals to recall retired judges and justices for temporary assignment and to create a panel of senior judges and justices to utilize the talent and experience of former circuit court judges and supreme court justices of this state: Provided, That extended assignment of retired judges and justices must not be utilized in such a way as to threaten the qualified status of the Judges Retirement System under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, including Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)-1(b)(1) requiring that a qualified plan must be established primarily to provide payment of definitely determinable benefits to its employees after retirement or attainment of normal retirement age. The Supreme Court of Appeals shall promulgate rules providing for said judges and justices to be assigned duties as needed and as feasible toward the objective of reducing caseloads and providing speedier trials to litigants throughout the state. Provided, That Reasonable payment shall be made to said judges and justices on a per diem basis: Provided, however, That the per diem and retirement compensation of a senior judge shall not exceed the salary of a sitting judge and allowances shall also be made for necessary expenses as provided for special judges under §51-2-1 et seq. and §51-9-1 et seq. of this Code

(c) Senior judges and justices recalled and assigned to service shall receive per diem compensation set by the Supreme Court of Appeals, but not to exceed $430 for each day actually served: Provided, That the combined total of per diem compensation and retirement benefits paid to a senior judge or justice during a single calendar year may not exceed the annual salary of a sitting circuit judge, except as set forth in subsection (d) of this section. 

(d) Notwithstanding subsection (c) of this section, for purposes of maintaining judicial efficacy and continuity in judicial decision-making, a senior judge or justice may continue to receive per diem compensation after the combined total of per diem compensation and retirement benefits paid to the senior judge or justice during that calendar year exceeds the annual salary of a sitting circuit judge if the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Appeals enters an administrative order certifying there are certain extraordinary circumstances involving the necessary absence of a sitting judicial officer because of a protracted, but temporary, illness or medical condition or a lengthy suspension which necessitate the extended assignment of the senior judge or justice. Immediately upon entering such an order, the Chief Justice shall submit copies of the order to the State Auditor and the State Treasurer.

(e) In addition to the per diem compensation authorized by this section, senior judges and justices recalled to service may be reimbursed for their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

(f) Within 90 days after the effective date of this section, the Treasurer, as the chief custodian of public funds, shall petition the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals for a writ of prohibition pursuant to the court’s original jurisdiction, naming as respondent the State Auditor and petitioning the court to prohibit the State Auditor from issuing any warrant for the payment of per diem compensation to senior judges and justices in excess of the limitation on the daily rate of per diem compensation in subsection (c) of this section.

§ 17-2A-6b. Country roads accountability and transparency.

(i) In consideration for compensation paid by the West Virginia State Police to its members during those members’ participation in the West Virginia State Police Cadet Training Program pursuant to §30-29-8 of this code, the West Virginia State Police may require of its members by written agreement entered into with each of them in advance of such participation in the program that, if a member should voluntarily discontinue employment any time within one year immediately following completion of the training program, he or she shall be obligated to pay to the West Virginia State Police a pro rata portion of such compensation equal to that part of such year which the member has chosen not to remain in the employ of the West Virginia State Police.

(j) Any member of the West Virginia State Police who is called to perform active duty training or inactive duty training in the National Guard or any reserve component of the armed forces of the United States annually shall be granted, upon request, leave time not to exceed 30 calendar days for the purpose of performing the active duty training or inactive duty training and the time granted may not be deducted from any leave accumulated as a member of the West Virginia State Police.”

H. C. R. 98 - “Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study and analyze the potential use of audio telemedicine in West Virginia.”

Whereas, The use of telemedicine in West Virginia is far below usage in other states; and

Whereas, West Virginia is a largely rural state that lacks significant broadband coverage, has difficult geography, and has an aging demographic; and

Whereas, Under current West Virginia law, the initial physician-patient telemedicine encounter must be via video encounter; and

Whereas, These combined factors remove the ability for telemedicine via video technology to be a feasible option for most West Virginia residents; and

Whereas, At least 17 states do not prohibit audio-only telemedicine; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to study the potential use of telemedicine via audio for physicians and their patients in West Virginia.

Martin, Maynard, Phillips, Porterfield, Rowan, Summers, Sypolt, Toney and Waxman offered the following resolution, which shall lie over one day:

            H. R.  20 - “Censuring Delegate Mike Caputo, Member of the West Virginia House of Delegates.”

Whereas, The West Virginia House of Delegates finds that civil and respectful debate and behavior is a foundational principle of a free society; and

Whereas, The West Virginia House of Delegates believes in not only the First Amendment guarantee of free speech, but the right to freely debate differences in opinions and beliefs; and

Whereas, The West Virginia House of Delegates believes that, while individuals may passionately disagree about those opinions and beliefs, these differences should be resolved with civility and respect; and

Whereas, The House of Delegates vehemently condemns acts of violence, bullying and verbal assault as a means of expressing political discontent; and

Whereas, The House of Delegates believes its members should embody these principles and behave in a way that serves as an example for all citizens in how they should peaceably resolve their differences; and

Whereas, On March 1, 2019, while an assistant doorkeeper of the House of Delegates was rightfully and properly performing his job by preventing members from entering the House during the Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance, Delegate Caputo did forcefully and violently kick the door to the House of Delegates striking the assistant Doorkeeper forcefully, causing bodily injury to the assistant Doorkeeper; and

Whereas, Delegate Caputo did verbally abuse the assistant Doorkeeper and did use language that was inappropriate to the decorum and order of the House of Delegates.; therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Delegates:

That the House of Delegates hereby censures Delegate Mike Caputo for his disorderly conduct and physical assault upon an assistant Doorkeeper.

Delegate Wilson offered the following resolution, which shall lie over one day:

H. R. 21 - “Expelling Delegate Mike Caputo from membership in the West Virginia House of Delegates for the remainder of the term for which he was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates at the general election held in the year 2018.”

Whereas, on March 1, 2019, Delegate Mike Caputo engaged in verbal and physical conduct unbecoming of a representative of the people of West Virginia during the House Floor Session. As he attempted to enter the House Chamber during the time reserved for the pledge and prayer, he found the door being kept shut by an assistant doorkeeper.  Despite being aware of the assistant doorkeeper’s duties, Delegate Caputo deliberately and violently forced his way into the House Chamber, resulting in physical injury of the assistant doorkeeper and requiring him to seek medical attention.

Whereas, As Delegate Caputo entered the House Chamber, he addressed the injured doorkeeper in passing using disrespectful and vulgar language, saying “Open the G** D*** Door I am a member and I can come in any time I want.” Prior to taking his seat, Delegate Caputo expressed no interest in the assistant doorkeeper’s well-being; and 

Whereas, Delegate Caputo then disrespectfully and aggressively accosted Delegate Malcolm after she commented on his behavior, saying “get the f*** out of my way” and elbowed her shoulder and chest as he passed her to walk toward his seat; and

Whereas, After Delegate Caputo took his seat, he requested permission to address the House and boasted “I'm the one kicked the door open. That's how angry I was. I tried to get in here between the prayer and the pledge, and I'm a member of this House, and nobody's going to keep me from opening that door, but the point I'm trying to get to- I have always preached to Freshman Delegates. When it gets personal with me, it's bad. Is it proper to do it here and take away from the business of the state of West Virginia when we've got doorkeepers going nose to nose with members? The Sergeant at Arms going nose to nose with members? We have created an anger that I have not witnessed in twenty-three years in this body, and it sickens me... but yeah, I kicked that door open. I'll own it. I did. I said some things that I don't normally say; so, the point should be we shouldn't do what's going on outside here there's no place for that. I apologize for my anger because I don't like getting this way, but I'm very angry today.”

Whereas, Leader Miley requested “time to handle Delegate Caputo’s behavior internally.”            And,

Whereas, Speaker Hanshaw agreed with the expectation that Delegate Caputo would be disciplined by Leader Miley; and

Whereas, Leader Miley took no decisive action concerning Delegate Caputo’s position or authority within the House; and

Whereas, Delegate Caputo was elected to the House of Delegates for a two-year term from the Fiftieth Delegate District at the general election held in the year 2018; and

Whereas, The West Virginia House of Delegates has high standards for the conduct of its members. Paramount to the orderly functioning of our form of government is the minimum requirement that members conduct themselves in a civil manner. This minimum requirement exists so that delegates may engage in the work for which they were elected: to engage in ardent and passionate debate concerning the business of the people of West Virginia; and

Whereas, While a delegate serves in the house, House Rule 32 binds him or her to “avoid all personalities and indecorous or disrespectful language”; and

Whereas, There is no House Rule that contemplates the situation wherein a member engages in a physical act that results in the injury of an individual employee because that conduct is so far outside the bounds of acceptable behavior that this body felt no need to address it.

Whereas, When the conduct of a member goes so far outside that which is expected of a representative of the citizens of this state, the remaining members must act to preserve the honor and credibility of that body. Not to act and repudiate such conduct destroys the credibility of the House and the faith of the people in their government.

Resolved by two-thirds of the members elected to the House of Delegates:

That for the conduct of Delegate Mike Caputo on March 1, 2019, he be and is hereby expelled from membership in the West Virginia House of Delegates for the remainder of the term for which he was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates at the general election held in 2018.
