Memorandum
The Office of the Secretary, WVDMAPS, does not keep nor collect
statistics upon which this fiscal note can be calculated. SB 90 does
not create an account/fund nor does it indicate in what office/division/department the fund which will pay for these death benefits will reside. SB 90 also does not address who will administer it either. At least for a perliminary guesstimate, the State Fire Marshal's office would have better access to statistics that would provide the average number of firefighter deaths per year, and DHHR, who oversees Emergency Medical Services, would be better able to provide the number of Emergency Medical folks who the bill addresses. Those stats combined should be able to provide an average number of deaths per year to calculate the amount it would cost. On that basis, it could then be determined the number of staff that would be needed to administer this program.
