Nonresident of this state – aka the people

West Virginia Code (of Conduct) mentions nonresidents of this state, which has got to mean the people.

We are nonresidents because we are not residents.

(a) The commissioner of motor vehicles is hereby authorized and empowered to enter into reciprocal agreements on behalf of this state with any jurisdiction

which permits or requires the licensing of motor vehicles in interstate or combined interstate and intrastate commerce and

the payment of taxes, registration, licensing or other fees fixed by the motor vehicle commissioner,

pursuant to the execution of this article on an apportionment basis

commensurate with and determined by the miles traveled on public roads and highways in that jurisdiction,

as compared with the miles traveled on public roads and highways in other jurisdictions or on any other equitable basis of apportionment, and

if that jurisdiction exempts motor vehicles registered in other jurisdictions under that apportionment basis from the requirements of full payment of its own registration, license or other fixed fees,

the commissioner, by agreement may adopt the exemption as to those motor vehicles, whether owned by residents or nonresidents of this state and regardless of where the vehicles are registered.
