This bill amends the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 18-2-25, to grant the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) the authority to revoke the coaching credentials of any coach found guilty of illegally recruiting student athletes. The new provision, marked as (g), explicitly states that the WVSSAC has the ability to take this action against coaches who violate recruitment regulations. The bill aims to enhance the integrity of interscholastic athletic events by ensuring that coaches adhere to ethical recruitment practices. By empowering the WVSSAC to enforce consequences for illegal recruitment, the legislation seeks to maintain fair competition and protect the interests of student athletes within the state's secondary schools.
