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.

Additionally, the bill makes several changes to the existing language regarding municipal services and the authority of municipalities to impose fees. It modifies the language to clarify that municipalities "may" rather than "shall" have certain powers, such as filing liens for unpaid fees and enacting ordinances related to municipal services. The bill aims to ensure that state employees are exempt from municipal user fees, thereby providing them with financial relief.
