The bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 22A-1-10a, which mandates a salary increase for certain state inspectors. Specifically, it stipulates that state mine inspectors, including electrical inspectors, underground mine inspectors, surface mine inspectors, and any other class of inspector defined in this chapter, will receive a $4,000 salary increase effective immediately upon the enactment of this section.

This legislative change aims to enhance the compensation for state inspectors who play a critical role in ensuring safety and compliance within the mining industry. By increasing their salaries, the bill seeks to recognize the importance of their work and potentially improve retention and recruitment within these essential positions.
