This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require that all public schools holding athletic events and charging admission must sell tickets at the gate, accept cash payments, and provide the option to purchase tickets online. The new provision is inserted as subsection (g) under section 18-2-25, which outlines the authority of county boards and the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission regarding the regulation of athletic and extracurricular activities in secondary schools.

The intent of this legislation is to enhance accessibility for attendees at public school athletic events by ensuring that multiple payment options are available, thereby accommodating a wider range of spectators. The bill does not delete any existing provisions but adds new requirements to improve the ticket purchasing process for public school events.
