Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to expand to the crime of indecent exposure to include biological males who undress in women's locker rooms.
AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of indecent exposure in West Virginia to specifically include biological males who undress in women's locker rooms, making such an act a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to 90 days in jail or a $250 fine, or both. The existing law already covers intentionally exposing sex organs or engaging in overt acts of sexual gratification under circumstances likely to cause affront or alarm, with stricter penalties for offenses committed for sexual gratification. The bill clarifies that a mother breastfeeding a child is not considered indecent exposure.
