HB 2563 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Provide that someone guilty of a crime where victim was a police officer in performance of duties is ineligible for parole

HB 2563 amends West Virginia's parole eligibility rules to automatically exclude individuals convicted of a felony against a police officer who was performing their official duties. This means such offenders cannot be considered for parole at any point and must serve their full sentences without early release. The bill directly affects inmates convicted of crimes where a law enforcement officer was the victim during work-related duties. It applies to all felony offenses meeting this criteria, regardless of the specific crime committed.
