Committee reports bill repealing outdated mileage provision for justices and circuit judges
Summary
SB 950, described by counsel as cleanup legislation, would repeal an outdated West Virginia Code section on mileage and expenses for Supreme Court justices and circuit judges and rely on the Supreme Court's travel policy and GSA-based reimbursement; the committee reported the bill with a recommendation that it pass.
Counsel explained SB 950 as primarily cleanup legislation removing an obsolete Code section dating back to the 1950s governing mileage and expenses for West Virginia Supreme Court justices and circuit court judges. Counsel said the provision has been superseded by a Supreme Court travel policy that mirrors executive‑branch travel rules and uses a GSA-based rate consistent with IRS guidance. The committee voted to report SB 950 to the full Senate with the recommendation that it pass.
The committee took no further action on other business and adjourned after approving the day's motions.
