Bill > HB2647

This bill proposes to completely repeal an existing section of West Virginia state code (§18-2-25e) that currently governs the athletic eligibility of transfer students. By marking the section as "[Repealed]", the legislation would eliminate the current rules that allow students to transfer between schools without losing their athletic eligibility. This means that under the proposed change, students who transfer to a new school would likely face restrictions or lose their ability to participate in school sports immediately after changing schools. The bill appears aimed at modifying current transfer student athletic policies, though the specific details of the previous eligibility rules are not provided in the bill text. Such changes can significantly impact student-athletes who may wish to change schools while maintaining their sports participation status.
