This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to modify the vacation time policy for deputy sheriffs. Specifically, it increases the maximum amount of accrued vacation time that can be carried forward from one calendar year to the next from 30 days to 60 days. The bill maintains the existing structure for how vacation time is accrued based on years of service, ensuring that deputies continue to earn vacation time at varying rates depending on their tenure.

Additionally, the bill introduces inclusive language by specifying "he or she" in reference to deputy sheriffs, promoting gender neutrality in the legal text. Overall, the primary aim of this legislation is to provide deputy sheriffs with greater flexibility regarding their vacation time, allowing them to carry over a larger balance into subsequent years.
