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 for this duration, unless otherwise permitted by existing law. Additionally, the bill establishes that violations of this provision will be classified as a misdemeanor, with penalties including fines or imprisonment as outlined in the existing law.

The bill aims to enhance compliance with vehicle registration requirements and empower law enforcement agencies in West Virginia to impose fines on individuals who do not register their vehicles after being parked at home for an extended period. This legislative change is intended to promote accountability among vehicle owners and ensure that all vehicles are properly registered in accordance with state regulations.
