    Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no person may initiate the transmission of an unsolicited electronic mail message, or a bulk electronic mail message from a computer located in West Virginia or to an electronic mail address that the sender knows, or has reason to know, is held by a West Virginia resident. Any person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined no less than $300 nor more than $600.
