This bill aims to repeal specific provisions of the West Virginia Code that currently exempt the Department of Transportation, the Tax Division, and the Bureau for Social Services from the Division of Personnel. The sections being repealed include 5F-2-8, which pertains to a special merit-based personnel system for Department of Transportation employees; 11B-1-8, which outlines special employment procedures for Tax Division personnel; and 49-10-101 through 49-10-103, which relate to exemptions from the West Virginia Division of Personnel.

By eliminating these exemptions, the bill seeks to integrate these departments into the standard personnel system governed by the Division of Personnel, thereby promoting uniformity and accountability in employment practices across state agencies. The repeal of these provisions is intended to enhance oversight and ensure that all state employees are subject to the same personnel regulations.
