To repeal obsolete and outdated sections of the Education code.
HB 4690 repeals five specific outdated sections of West Virginia's Education Code (§18-2E-5, §18-2E-12, §18-2I-1, §18-3-13, and §18-8-6). These sections relate to now-obsolete programs like the Office of Education Performance Audits, Mountain State Digital Literacy Project, professional development requirements, Behavioral Interventionists Pilot Program, and the High School Graduation Improvement Act. The bill directly affects the state's Education Code by removing redundant legal language, streamlining the code without altering current education policies or programs. This is a procedural repeal focused solely on eliminating outdated statutory references.
