SB 559 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requiring legal actions concerning WVSSAC to be filed in Wood or Kanawha County

SB 559 requires all legal injunctions and lawsuits involving the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) to be filed exclusively in Wood County or Kanawha County courts. This procedural change directly affects anyone filing legal action against WVSSAC, including schools, students, or organizations challenging its decisions. The bill amends existing law to mandate this specific venue for such cases, streamlining legal proceedings. It does not alter WVSSAC's operational rules, eligibility standards, or funding mechanisms.
