Relating to extended supervision for certain drug offenders

HB 2198 requires courts to impose up to 10 years of supervised release after other sentences (like probation or prison) end for defendants convicted of specific drug offenses, excluding marijuana cases (such as delivery or possession with intent to deliver Schedule I, II, or III drugs). This supervision, managed by probation officers, includes standard probation conditions and may require a monthly fee up to $50 based on the defendant’s ability to pay. Courts can modify or revoke supervision for violations but cannot require more total time than the original 10-year term. The bill directly affects individuals sentenced for these targeted drug crimes in West Virginia.
