This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require the Division of Corrections to provide each probationer with physical copies of their birth certificate and Social Security Administration card upon their release from any Division of Corrections facility. This new requirement is intended to assist probationers in reintegrating into society by ensuring they have essential identification documents readily available.

In addition to this new provision, the bill also makes a minor change to the language regarding conditions of release on probation, specifically altering the terminology from "set forth" to "defined" in relation to certain offenses against children. The overall aim of the bill is to enhance the support provided to probationers as they transition back into the community, thereby potentially reducing recidivism and aiding in their successful rehabilitation.
