Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to provide authority for West Virginia law enforcement agencies to fine an individual who has a vehicle with out of state license plates that has been parked at their residence for more than 90 days.

AI Summary

This bill, amending West Virginia Code §17A-3-1a, makes it unlawful for any person to have a vehicle with out-of-state license plates parked at their residence for more than 90 days, unless otherwise permitted by law. Violators of this new provision, as well as those failing to register their vehicle within 30 days of becoming a resident as previously required, will be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to fines or jail time, as outlined in §17A-3-1(b). The bill aims to address situations where vehicles with out-of-state plates are left at a residence for an extended period, potentially indicating residency without proper West Virginia registration.
