A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by
adding thereto a new section, designated §8-14-17a, relating
to transferability for certified law-enforcement officers from
one department to another throughout the state; civil service
status; and benefits.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended
by adding thereto a new section, designated §8-14-17a, to read as
follows:
ARTICLE 14. LAW AND ORDER; POLICE FORCE OR DEPARTMENTS; POWERS,
AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS
AND POLICEMEN; POLICE MATRONS; SPECIAL SCHOOL ZONE
AND PARKING LOT OR PARKING BUILDING POLICE
OFFICERS; CIVIL SERVICE FOR CERTAIN POLICE
DEPARTMENTS.
§8-14-17a. Transferability of certified law-enforcement officers
in law-enforcement departments throughout the state.
Notwithstanding any provision in this article to the contrary,
in all Class I and Class II municipalities throughout the state
that have a paid police department under a civil service commission
in accordance with section seven of this article, certified
law-enforcement officers applying for positions in other
departments may transfer to them and retain the same civil service
status attained in their former department regarding rank, pay
grade, seniority, pension and all other benefits.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to allow certified
law-enforcement officers to transfer to other departments in the
state and retain all civil service status from the previous
department in which they were employed.
This section is new; therefore, strike-throughs and
underscoring have been omitted.
