To repeal the provision allowing for students to transfer from one school to another without losing eligibility.

HB 4425 would repeal a West Virginia law (§18-2-25e of the Code) that currently allows student-athletes to maintain athletic eligibility when transferring to a new school. This change would directly affect students transferring between schools in the state, as they would no longer retain immediate eligibility to participate in sports upon moving. The bill targets the specific provision permitting this exception, removing it from state law. If enacted, transfer students would lose eligibility to compete in school athletics right after transferring, ending the current exception.
