This bill proposes the repeal of section 18-2-25e of the Code of West Virginia, which currently mandates that the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission must adjust its rules to permit high school students transferring between schools to maintain their athletic eligibility. By removing this requirement, the bill allows the Commission greater discretion in determining the rules surrounding athletic eligibility for transfer students.
The intent of the legislation is to provide the Commission with the flexibility to modify its regulations regarding athletic eligibility without being bound by the previous stipulation. This change aims to streamline the process and potentially enhance the management of athletic programs within West Virginia's high schools.
