Authorizing WVSSAC to promulgate legislative rules

SB 394 authorizes the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) to create and implement legislative rules governing interscholastic athletics and extracurricular activities for public, private, and parochial schools. The bill explicitly states that WVSSAC must promulgate these rules following standard rulemaking procedures under state law. It directly affects WVSSAC and all schools participating in secondary school activities across West Virginia. The bill does not change specific eligibility rules (like those for home-schooled students or private school participants) but confirms WVSSAC’s authority to establish procedural rules for managing these activities. This is a procedural update to clarify the commission’s existing rulemaking power.
