1)    Review WestVirginia state laws and a piece of legislation that deals with your topic.Explain the bill and how it relates to your research.

2)    If you canfind information on who proposed the bill and why they did please note thesponsors, co-sponsors, etc- identify if it was partisan or bi-partisan, howmany sponsors/co-sponsors. Local newspapers are going to be a great place forthis.

Explain how it is either similar or dissimilar to thefederal stance on the legislation by researching and relaying the pertinentinformation from the state legislation vs the federal legislation. Also note itmay be completely different as states attempt to challenge federal legislationoften times throughout legislation. 

The federal law to focus on is the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act. When looking at West Virginia Laws please use the laws enacted to comply with the federal laws. I am attaching the previous authors attempt to complete this order to assist you with source material, but please take caution as the work was terrible.
