WV HB4138

Requires persons convicted of sexual extortion and aggravated sexual extortion under §61-8B-6 to register as sex offenders under West Virginia's Sex Offender Registration Act

Clarifies that persons previously convicted under the former §61-8B-6 (sexual assault of a spouse), which was repealed in 2000, must continue to register as sex offenders

Addresses statutory consistency following passage of SB240 during the 2025 Regular Session, which created the current sexual extortion offenses

Applies both retroactively and prospectively to covered offenses, maintaining existing registration requirements for all qualifying sexual offenses under §61-8B-1 et seq.
