White 3336

Delegates Kessinger and Hornbuckle moved to amend the bill on page 2, section 25, lines 39-42, by striking out paragraph (d) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

(d) The West Virginia secondary school activities commission shall recognize preparatory athletic programs, whose participants attend a secondary school in West Virginia for academic instruction, as nonparticipating members of the commission solely for the purpose of competing on the national level: Provided, That  the preparatory athletic program shall pay the same fees as member schools. Such recognition does not entitle the preparatory athletic program to compete against a member school during the regular season or in any commission state championship events. The commission may promulgate an emergency rule pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, if necessary, to carry out the intent of this subsection.
