This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to prohibit municipalities from imposing user fees on state employees due to their employment status. Specifically, it introduces new provisions stating that a user fee cannot be levied on state employees and that neither the State Auditor nor any state employing unit can withhold such fees from the compensation of state employees. This change aims to protect state employees from additional financial burdens related to municipal services.

In addition to the new provisions regarding state employees, the bill also makes several modifications to existing language concerning municipal services. It clarifies that municipalities may provide services and impose fees through ordinances, rather than having plenary power and authority. The bill also revises the conditions under which municipalities can file liens for unpaid fees, ensuring that property owners receive proper notice and have the right to appeal. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the regulatory framework for municipal services while safeguarding state employees from user fees.
