Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


The above estimates are based on a survey taken of all county sheriffs’ departments in West Virginia. Responses were limited and only actual dollars collected were taken into account. Based on an average of fees collected in the survey, approximately $54,200 would have been collected in Fiscal Year 2004 had this proposed bill been in effect. This amount is expected to remain level. This note prices only dollars affecting the funds in the Deputy Sheriffs’ Retirement System. There will be no cost or revenue to state funds.
