SB 6 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

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

This bill amends West Virginia law to require all legal actions or injunctions concerning the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) to be filed exclusively in Wood County or Kanawha County courts. It directly affects anyone filing lawsuits against WVSSAC, such as schools, students, or organizations challenging its rules or decisions. The key provision changes the venue for these cases, mandating that they be heard in one of two specific counties rather than elsewhere in the state. This is a procedural change with no impact on WVSSAC's operational rules or student eligibility policies.
