To allow police access to all photo information upon arrest for sex offenders

HB 2979 requires sex offenders registered under West Virginia's Sex Offender Registry to provide all online identifiers - including email addresses, social media handles, mobile app usernames, phone numbers, and mobile device details - when registering. It also mandates disclosure of information about all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) operated by registrants. The bill amends registration requirements to include verification via mobile device inspection, ensuring police can confirm all digital identifiers are provided. This directly affects individuals convicted of sex offenses required to register under West Virginia law.
