This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 18-2-25, to establish that all legal injunctions and legal actions concerning the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission must be filed in either Wood County or Kanawha County. This change aims to streamline the legal process related to the commission by designating specific jurisdictions for such legal matters.
In addition to this new provision, the bill maintains existing regulations regarding the control and supervision of interscholastic athletic events and extracurricular activities by county boards of education and the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission. The commission's authority to regulate these activities, including those involving private and parochial schools, as well as home-schooled students, remains intact, ensuring that all participants adhere to the same rules and requirements.
