Bill Summary
AN ACT to repeal §18-2-25e of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to athletic eligibility of transfer students.
AI Summary
This bill repeals a West Virginia law, specifically section 18-2-25e of the Code, that previously allowed students transferring between schools to maintain their athletic eligibility. In plain language, this means that under the current law, students who switch schools will no longer automatically be eligible to participate in sports at their new school, and new rules regarding transfer student eligibility will likely be put in place.
