CHARLESTON â The West Virginia Senate on Thursday passed a bill banning transgender middle school, high school and college girls and women from playing on womenâs sports teams.
The legislation (House Bill 3293) now returns to the House of Delegates, which must decide whether to accept or reject the Senateâs changes.
Among the Senateâs amendments was expanding the bill to affect colleges. The House version of the bill affected only middle and high school sports under the supervision of the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission. The SSAC regulates basketball, soccer, cross country and other sports.
The issue is largely supported by conservatives, and despite Republicans holding 23 of the 34 Senate seats, the bill passed only by an 18-15 margin.

CHARLESTON A bill making changes to contractor licensing boards and changing how unions collect dues passed the West Virginia Senate on Tuesday.
House Bill 2006, relating to the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Act, passed 19-14 Tuesday, with Republican state senators Amy Grady, R-Mason, Bill Hamilton, R-Upshur, and Rupie Phillips, R-Logan, voting with the Democratic minority. The bill heads back to the House of Delegates to approve Senate changes to the bill.
HB 2006 moves West Virginia Contractor Licensing Board from the Division of Labor and puts it in the same code section as Chapter 30 occupational licensing boards. The Division of Labor would continue to provide services to the board for a two-year transition period and can continue to contract with the Division of Labor for services.
