The bill passed on March 31, 2025, aims to repeal a series of outdated and inoperative provisions from the Code of West Virginia, specifically targeting sections related to education and school innovation. The provisions being repealed include various articles and sections that address topics such as the Vision 2020 education blueprint, the establishment and operation of state camp and conference centers, college and career readiness initiatives, and the adoption of textbooks and instructional materials. Additionally, it eliminates multiple sections related to the School Innovation Zones Act and vocational-technical education programs.
By repealing these sections, the bill seeks to streamline the legal framework governing education in West Virginia, removing regulations that are no longer relevant or effective. The changes will take effect 90 days after passage, on June 29, 2025, allowing for a more modernized approach to educational governance in the state.
