Bill overview
This bill seeks to broaden the powers of bail bond enforcers, bounty hunters, and private investigators in West Virginia. It would allow these individuals to apprehend and arrest defendants on specific warrants, receive payments for defendant apprehension under the Civil Forfeiture Act, and prioritize registration for veterans. The bill also mandates the Secretary of State publish a list of registered individuals and clarifies prohibited conduct and unauthorized actions. It aims to streamline the process of recovering defendants who have failed to appear in court.
