Relating to the Central Abuse Registry

Summary

The bill creates a Central Abuse Registry managed by the West Virginia State Police that lists people convicted of child abuse, neglect, or similar crimes, as well as sex offenders. Those placed on the registry must pay $125 each year, with the money earmarked for police mental‑health programs and other police operations. Failure to pay does not affect a person’s supervised release, and a single fee satisfies both abuse and sex‑offender registration requirements.
