Requirements for Sex offenders list
HB 3161 clarifies and updates verification requirements for sex offenders in West Virginia. It requires all registered sex offenders to verify their address and online information annually (or monthly based on birth month), while sexually violent predators must verify quarterly. The State Police must verify addresses every 90 days for high-risk offenders and annually for others, and may request new fingerprints or photos during verification. The bill does not create new registration rules but streamlines existing processes to ensure accurate and timely updates to public registries.
