This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to make it illegal for vehicle owners to fail to obtain valid registration for motor vehicles parked at their residence for more than ninety days. The new legal language specifies that it is unlawful for any person to have an unregistered vehicle parked at their residence beyond this time frame, unless otherwise permitted by existing law. Additionally, the bill clarifies that individuals who violate this provision will be guilty of a misdemeanor and may face fines or jail time, as outlined in the existing law.

The bill aims to enhance compliance with vehicle registration requirements and provide law enforcement agencies in West Virginia with the authority to impose fines on vehicle owners who do not adhere to these regulations. The changes introduced in this bill are intended to ensure that vehicles parked at residences are properly registered, thereby promoting accountability among vehicle owners.
