Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
This proposed legislation, in its current form, provides a lump sum payment of accrued personal leave to full-time employees of a county school board upon termination of full-time employment due to death. The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) is unable to provide a cost estimate for this proposal because it does not have the expertise to determine the fiscal impact of allowing county board of education employees to be paid in a lump sum for accrued unused personal leave upon death. The Consolidated Public Retirement Board (CPRB) should be consulted to determine whether it has the expertise to provide the fiscal implications of the proposed legislation.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
WVDE is unable to provide a cost estimate for the proposed legislation because it does not have the expertise to determine the fiscal impact of allowing county board of education employees to be paid in a lump sum for accrued unused personal leave upon death. CPRB should be consulted to determine whether they have the expertise to provide the fiscal implications of the proposed legislation.
WVDE can aid in the request by gathering employee accrued unused personal leave data that can be provided to CPRB to determine the fiscal impact on the state as a result of this legislation being enacted upon request.
Under the bill’s current language, the cost of a leave payout upon death would be borne by the county board of education employing an applicable individual at the time of death. It is indeterminable what the impact of the bill will be on an annual basis, and the cost will vary annually statewide.
