This bill amends the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 18-2-25, to grant the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) the authority to revoke the coaching credentials of any coach found guilty of illegally recruiting student athletes. The bill aims to enhance the integrity of interscholastic athletic events by imposing stricter consequences on coaches who violate recruitment regulations.

The new provision, marked by the insertion of subsection (g), explicitly states that the WVSSAC has the ability to pull coaching credentials in cases of illegal recruitment. This addition underscores the commitment to maintaining fair play and ethical standards within the state's secondary school athletic programs. The bill does not propose any deletions from the existing law, focusing solely on the enhancement of the commission's regulatory powers.
