Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The estimated annual costs for full implementation of the pay increase portion of this bill are as follows:
WV Division of Corrections: $8,711,040 general revenue
WV Regional Jail Authority: $6,049,056 special revenue
WV Division of Juvenile Services: $2,328,768 general revenue
Total: $17,088,864
We are unable to estimate how many potential new hires would be eligible for Military Service Pay enhancement, but for each officer that was eligible the additional annual cost would be $2,496.
We are unable to estimate how many officers would take advantage of the Educational Incentive but for each officer who does we can expect and annual cost of $41,008 (based on average tuition at WV Colleges and Universities). Articulation agreements between the DMAPS Professional Development Center and specific institutions could significantly reduce these costs.
