Bill overview
This bill amends West Virginia’s Sex Offender Registration Act to require registration of individuals convicted of specific offenses, including sexual assault, and those found not guilty by reason of mental illness, mental retardation, or addiction. It clarifies the registration process, including how individuals without permanent residences can satisfy their obligations, and updates procedures for DNA collection and notification upon release from confinement. The bill also addresses information sharing with law enforcement and community organizations.
