Bill > HB4990

This bill gives the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) the authority to pull the coaching credentials of any coach who is found guilty of illegally recruiting student athletes. The bill amends the existing law that grants the WVSSAC the power to regulate interscholastic athletic events and other extracurricular activities in West Virginia's public secondary schools. By adding the provision to revoke coaching credentials for illegal recruiting, the bill aims to deter such unethical practices and ensure fair competition among coaches and student athletes.
