Regarding venue for legal actions against the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission
HB 5663 requires 30 days' written notice before filing lawsuits against the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC). It establishes specific procedures for delivering this notice and tolls the statute of limitations during the notice period. The bill allows exceptions for claims seeking injunctive relief (court orders to stop actions) and mandates that all legal actions involving WVSSAC must be filed and prosecuted exclusively in Kanawha County. This bill directly affects schools, students, parents, or organizations seeking to sue WVSSAC over athletic or extracurricular regulations.
