This bill amends West Virginia Code §18-2-25 to clarify the jurisdiction for legal proceedings involving the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC). The new language specifies that any civil action in which the WVSSAC or its representatives are defendants must be filed in the circuit court of Wood County. However, if the plaintiff is domiciled in Wood County, the action must instead be brought in the circuit court of Kanawha County.

The bill aims to streamline the legal process related to the WVSSAC by establishing clear guidelines on where lawsuits can be filed, thereby potentially reducing confusion and ensuring that cases are handled in the appropriate jurisdiction. This change is intended to enhance the efficiency of legal proceedings involving the commission and its activities.
