Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


HB2541 would require the creation of the West Virginia Legislative Criminal Justice Resource Center. The center would require hiring 3 new research analysts with a salary of $26,775 each. Salary and benefits for each analyst would be $32,433 for a total of $97,299 for all 3 analysts. The Joint Committee on Criminal Justice created by this bill should not have any additional expenses since it would meet during the legislative session and during interim meetings, and would be a part of expenses already incurred. The West Virginia Criminal Justice System Task Force members receive no compensation, thus would require no additional expense.
