Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


This proposed legislation, in its current form, authorizes a sheriff to appoint, qualify, certify, authorize, compensate, and train school protection officers, and establishes limitations on the civil liability of those officers in certain circumstances. Because the legislation is permissive, it does not have any fiscal impact on the West Virginia Board of Education or the West Virginia Department of Education.
