This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to establish regulations regarding vehicles with out-of-state license plates parked at residences. Specifically, it makes it unlawful for any person to have a vehicle with out-of-state license plates parked at their residence for more than 90 days, unless otherwise permitted by existing provisions. Additionally, the bill introduces a rebuttable presumption that a person is a resident of West Virginia based on various criteria, such as voter registration, employment, or public assistance.

Furthermore, the bill creates criminal penalties for violations of the new parking regulation. It stipulates that individuals who fail to comply with the requirement to register their vehicles within 30 days of establishing residency may be charged with a misdemeanor, subject to fines or imprisonment as outlined in the existing law. This legislation aims to empower law enforcement agencies in West Virginia to enforce compliance with vehicle registration laws more effectively.
