This bill proposes the repeal of section 18-2-25e of the Code of West Virginia, which pertains to the athletic eligibility of transfer students. The legislation aims to eliminate the existing provisions that govern the eligibility criteria for students who transfer between schools in relation to their participation in athletic programs.
By repealing this section, the bill effectively removes any legal framework that currently allows transfer students to be eligible for athletic participation, thereby potentially impacting the rules and regulations surrounding student-athletes in West Virginia. The bill was introduced on February 20, 2025, and has been referred to the Committee on Education for further consideration.
