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

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The costs could be significant to Departments and Agencies, but there are many variables such as how many state workers volunteer for this type of service. what is finally determined to fit into this category, such as volunteer fire service, volunteers for Red Cross, Salvation Army or other Volunteer agencies active in Disaster (VOAD). Would volunteer EMS and Hospital workers be included, etc.
It would also depend on the number of disasters in a year, in 2015 there were 5 impacting all counties in WV and some more than once. The impact to state expenses would depend on how many workers, their pay rate, the number of disasters and the duration of them.
Memorandum
Definition of Emergency Workers would need to be clearly defined. How long they could volunteer an what the parameters of volunteering would mean.
