Bill overview
This bill would expand the information required from individuals registered as sex offenders in West Virginia. Specifically, it mandates that registrants provide all online identifiers from internet and mobile application accounts, allowing law enforcement to access this data. Additionally, the bill requires registrants to disclose information about All Terrain Vehicles and Utility Terrain Vehicles they operate, and would require inspection of mobile devices to verify the accuracy of provided identifiers. The bill also aims to improve the process of notifying the State Police upon a registrant’s release from confinement.
