SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 73
(By Senators Jenkins, Plymale, Edgell, Fanning and Harrison)
________
[Originating in the Committee on Pensions.]
________
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance appoint an
interim committee to study establishing a separate retirement
system for emergency medical services personnel suited to the
unique characteristics of their employment.
Whereas, Emergency medical services personnel must endure
demanding and stressful circumstances and meet unique physical
qualifications in their jobs which are different from those endured
by most public employees; and
Whereas, The work environment of emergency medical services
personnel routinely exposes them to increased risk of injury and
disease; and
Whereas, The stressful work environment and demanding physical
qualifications often require emergency medical services personnel
to retire before reaching the usual retirement age of most public
employees; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to appoint an interim committee to study establishing a separate retirement system for emergency medical services personnel
suited to the unique characteristics of their employment; and, be
it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2005, 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.
