The resolution requests the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to conduct a comprehensive study of the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC). The study aims to evaluate the commission's mission effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, accountability, and the appropriateness of a performance evaluation. The WVSSAC operates on a budget of approximately $2.5 million annually, funded through ticket revenue and corporate sponsorships, without the use of tax dollars. However, it performs functions that are typically the responsibility of county boards of education, which are funded by state and local tax revenues. The resolution highlights the importance of the commission's policies and decisions to families with student-athletes, indicating a growing concern among constituents that has prompted legislative interest.

The resolution further stipulates that the study should gather input from various stakeholders, including coaches, parents, and athletes, to ensure a well-rounded assessment. The Joint Committee on Government and Finance is tasked with reporting its findings, conclusions, and recommendations to the Legislature during the 2026 regular session, along with any necessary legislative drafts to implement those recommendations. Additionally, the resolution allocates funding for the study and related expenses through legislative appropriations.
