To clarify those required to register sex offenders, who must register temporary addresses
To House Judiciary
Summary
The bill updates West Virginia’s sex offender registration law so that people who lack a permanent home can still meet their registration duties by providing a temporary or transient address. It adds new definitions, including “transient residence,” and lists the information registrants must give to the state police. This keeps the public registry accurate even for homeless or itinerant offenders.
