This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to establish specific jurisdictional requirements for legal actions involving the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission. It mandates that any legal action must be filed in the Kanawha County Circuit Court, provided that a 30-day notice is given to the commission, the State School Board, and the West Virginia Attorney General. However, if the legal action is initiated by a school or a private citizen residing in Kanawha County, it must be filed in the Boone County Circuit Court instead.
The bill aims to clarify the legal framework surrounding disputes related to the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission, ensuring that all parties are aware of the proper venue for filing such actions. This change is intended to streamline the legal process and provide clear guidelines for schools and individuals involved in legal matters concerning the commission.
