This bill aims to amend the West Virginia Code to incorporate members of the Division of Protection Services, specifically the Capitol Police, into the state police B retirement system. The proposed changes include the insertion of a definition for "Division," which refers to the Division of Protective Services, and an expansion of the definition of "Employee" to encompass individuals regularly employed by the Division as members of the Capitol Police who are eligible to participate in the retirement fund.

Additionally, the bill removes several definitions from the current law, including terms such as "Accumulated contributions," "Active military duty," and "Base salary," among others. The deletions streamline the language and focus on the inclusion of the Capitol Police within the existing retirement framework, thereby ensuring that these members receive the same retirement benefits as their counterparts in the state police.
