This bill amends West Virginia Code §62-12-9 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 provision is inserted as subsection (e) and emphasizes the importance of ensuring that probationers have essential identification documents upon reintegration into society.

The bill also includes various conditions of release on probation, such as compliance with criminal laws, restrictions on contact with minors for certain offenders, and requirements for payment of fees and restitution. The existing language regarding these conditions is modified to clarify the definitions and requirements, but the primary focus of the bill is the new mandate for the Division of Corrections to assist probationers with obtaining vital identification documents.
