This bill aims to amend the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 15A-3-7, to provide a 15% salary increase for non-uniformed workers within the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The new legal language inserted into the bill specifies that these employees will receive this raise upon the bill's passage.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the commissioner regarding employee salaries, ensuring that they are appropriate for the duties performed. It also clarifies that employees will not receive meals or other benefits as part of their salary, although they may be provided with necessary supplies if they agree to cover the costs. In emergencies, the commissioner has the authority to provide meals at no cost, and a reimbursement procedure for personal property damage caused by inmates is also established.
