Bill overview
This bill would allow West Virginia municipalities to decide whether to include their fire chiefs in civil service protections. Currently, fire chiefs are covered by civil service rules, but this bill would allow cities to exempt them, enabling the mayor or city council to appoint them as they do with police chiefs. This change would be determined by the municipality’s specific ordinances and charter. The bill focuses on clarifying the process for appointing fire chiefs, particularly in cities where the position isn’t currently subject to civil service regulations.
