Relating to persons convicted of a crime
HB 3514 amends West Virginia's sex offender registration law to require registration for individuals convicted of specific sex offenses, including those under repealed statutes like the former "sexual assault of a spouse" law (§61-8B-6, repealed in 2000). It directly affects people convicted of offenses listed in §61-8A-1 through §61-14-6, such as sexual extortion, aggravated sexual extortion, and human trafficking for sexual servitude. Key provisions mandate detailed registration at local police stations, including full personal information, addresses, photographs, fingerprints, internet accounts, vehicle details, and employment data. The law applies retroactively to all qualifying convictions, requiring registration upon conviction or release from confinement.
