West Virginia House Bill 4361 (Prior Session Legislation)

---

Completed Legislative Action
Spectrum: Moderate Partisan Bill (Democrat 8-2)
Status: Passed on April 22 2010 - 100% progression
Action: 2010-06-07 - Effective Date

The purpose of this bill is to repeal the section that prohibits this state from sharing domestic violence information with other governments. It also broadens the definition of "law- enforcement agency" so that the division of the Supreme Court that oversees the domestic violence database can share information with the federal government and its agencies. At the time these sections were enacted, West Virginia was not participating in the national domestic violence registry. The West Virginia Supreme Court now actively shares information with the federal government and receives grant moneys to develop and promote its domestic violence prevention programs. West Virginia will not be eligible to receive this grant money in the future if it does not continue to participate in the building of the federal database.
