West Virginia HB4161 amends the state code to establish that it is unlawful for individuals to park vehicles with out-of-state license plates at their residence for more than 90 days. This bill provides authority for law enforcement agencies to fine those who violate this provision. The fine is a misdemeanor, with penalties including fines, jail time, or both. The bill also outlines specific circumstances that rebut the presumption of residency, such as being registered to vote in the state or having a homestead tax exemption.
