The bill passed on March 13, 2026, repeals section 18-2-25e of the Code of West Virginia, which pertains to the athletic eligibility of transfer students. This repeal indicates a significant change in the regulations governing how transfer students can participate in athletic programs within the state.

As a result of this repeal, the previous legal framework that may have imposed restrictions or specific eligibility criteria for transfer students in athletics is eliminated. The bill will take effect 90 days after its passage, on June 11, 2026, allowing for a transition period for schools and athletic programs to adjust to the new legal landscape regarding transfer student eligibility.
