To create the West Virginia Homeschool Student Athletics Participation Act.

HB 3488, the West Virginia Homeschool Student Athletics Participation Act, allows homeschool students in organized athletic teams to compete in regular-season sports against West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) member schools. Homeschool teams must follow similar health, safety, and eligibility rules as public and private schools, carry comparable insurance, and agree to WVSSAC policies, but their results will not count toward official rankings, standings, or postseason tournaments. Participating schools can choose voluntarily whether to schedule games against homeschool teams without penalty. The bill ensures homeschool participation does not affect member schools' win-loss records or championship eligibility.
