The bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 22A-1-10a, which mandates a $5,000 salary increase for state mine inspectors. This includes various categories of inspectors such as electrical inspectors, underground mine inspectors, and surface mine inspectors, among others specified in the chapter.

The salary increase will take effect on the date the new section is enacted, thereby enhancing the compensation for these essential roles within the Office of Miners Health, Safety, and Training. This legislative change aims to recognize and support the work of inspectors who play a critical role in ensuring safety and compliance in the mining industry.
