Shaver, Paxton, Reynolds, et. al.)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study ways
to compensate public employees for carpooling to work.
Whereas, The Legislature desires to encourage public employees
to carpool to work; and
Whereas, Employees who carpool to work could save money on gas,
reduce motor vehicle wear and tear, and reduce the stress of
driving to work; and
Whereas, There are multiple ways that employees could be
compensated for carpooling to work, including, but not limited to,
mileage reimbursement for drivers, flat rate compensation, and
nonmonetary incentives such as not paying for parking at the
capitol complex or other locations where employees have to pay to
park; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study ways to compensate public employees for
carpooling to work; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2009, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
