Require registration of persons convicted of abuse

HB 2945 amends West Virginia's Sex Offender Registration Act to require registration for individuals convicted of specific abuse-related offenses, including sexual assault, trafficking for sexual servitude, and other listed crimes under state law. The bill clarifies that individuals without a permanent residence must use a "transient residence within the state" to meet registration requirements, ensuring all affected individuals can comply with the law. Key provisions mandate registrants to provide detailed personal information, including addresses, employment details, Internet accounts, phone numbers, and vehicle/drones, with updates required within 10 days of any change. This affects anyone convicted of qualifying offenses who is released from custody, placed on probation, or otherwise released from confinement.
