To repeal obsolete, conflicting or inoperative provisions of code that pertain to higher education
HB 3192 repeals numerous outdated, conflicting, or inoperative sections of West Virginia's education code that pertained to higher education institutions. The bill specifically removes provisions related to West Virginia University (Article 11), revenue bonds for university capital improvements (Article 11A), university facilities (Article 11B), and athletic facilities at West Virginia University (Article 11D) and Marshall University (Article 11E). It also repeals sections concerning state teachers' colleges (Article 12) and Marshall University capital improvements (Article 12A). This legislation streamlines the legal code by eliminating redundant or obsolete language, making the code more accessible for legal interpretation and application. The bill was approved by the Governor in April 2025 and became effective on July 31, 2025.
