Senate Bill 715
By Senator Oliverio
[Passed April 7, 2025; in effect from passage]
AN ACT to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding a new section, designated §5-10D-15, relating to personally identifiable information of a member, retirant, beneficiary, or alternate payee of a retirement system administered by the Consolidated Public Retirement Board being confidential and exempt from disclosure.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
Due to the increased risk of fraud and personal identity theft, all information contained in the records maintained by the Consolidated Public Retirement Board for all retirement systems administered pursuant to this article that would tend to disclose personally identifiable information of a member, retirant, beneficiary, or alternate payee are confidential and exempt from disclosure under the provisions of §29B-1-1 et seq. of this code. This information includes, without limitation, Social Security numbers, account numbers, dates of birth, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, medical or disability information, direct deposit information, and any other personally identifiable information. Members, retirants, beneficiaries, alternate payees, or persons authorized by them, are permitted access to their own information.
The Clerk of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Delegates hereby certify that the foregoing bill is correctly enrolled.
