Bill overview
Senate Bill 715 aims to protect the personal information of individuals participating in West Virginia’s public retirement systems. It designates certain records maintained by the Consolidated Public Retirement Board (CPRB) as confidential and exempt from disclosure to prevent fraud and identity theft. The bill specifically lists types of information, such as social security numbers and account details, that would be covered by this protection. Individuals can still access their own information within the system.

- Designates records of the Consolidated Public Retirement Board as confidential.
- Exempts personally identifiable information from disclosure.
- Lists specific data covered by the exemption (e.g., social security numbers, account numbers).
- Allows individuals to access their own information.
- Applies to all retirement systems administered by the CPRB.
