Bill overview
This bill proposes to establish a domestic violence registry in West Virginia. The registry, maintained by the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, would track individuals convicted of misdemeanor or felony domestic violence offenses. It aims to provide a means to alert potential partners about a person’s prior domestic violence history, allowing individuals to make informed decisions about relationships and protect themselves or children. The registry would include specific information about the convictions and allow requesters to verify a person’s status.
