This bill proposes an amendment to West Virginia's Code, specifically section 62-12-13, to establish that any inmate who has committed or attempted to commit a felony against a police officer while the officer is performing their duties will be ineligible for parole. The new legal language added to the existing law explicitly states this ineligibility, reinforcing the seriousness of crimes against law enforcement personnel.

Additionally, the bill makes a minor adjustment by deleting a previous subsection (D) and renumbering the subsequent subsections accordingly. The overall intent of the legislation is to enhance penalties for crimes against police officers, reflecting a commitment to protecting those who serve in law enforcement roles.
