West Virginia HB5408 aims to limit the disclosure of personal information by government entities to prevent its use for federal immigration enforcement. The bill defines "personal information" as data identifying an individual, including criminal history, photographs, and Social Security numbers. Government entities must verify the requester's identity and purpose, and require a statement under penalty of perjury. If the information is intended for immigration enforcement, a federal warrant is mandatory.
