Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to prohibit anyone convicted of harassing or stalking a minor from living within 5,000 feet of a school, day care, or similar setting.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing West Virginia law to add a new provision that prohibits any person convicted of stalking, harassment, or terrorist threats or acts against a minor from living within 5,000 feet of a school, daycare, or similar setting. This means that individuals found guilty of these offenses, where the victim is a child, will face a geographic restriction on their residence to ensure proximity to educational and childcare facilities is avoided. The bill aims to enhance the safety of children by creating a buffer zone around places they frequent.
