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

HB 2647 repeals §18-2-25e of West Virginia Code, which previously allowed student-athletes to transfer between schools without losing athletic eligibility. This bill directly affects high school student-athletes who move to a new school within the state, as it removes the existing rule permitting them to immediately compete in sports after transferring. The key mechanism is the deletion of the specific code section governing transfer student eligibility, ending the current exception. The bill does not create new rules but eliminates the existing provision, meaning transfer students would no longer automatically retain eligibility under this policy. (2 sentences, as it is a procedural repeal bill).
