Died when the session ended · The 2020 session adjourned on June 14, 2020, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill requests that the Iowa high school athletic association (IHSAA) and the Iowa girls high school athletic union (IGHSAU) jointly conduct a study to determine if nonpublic schools in this state should receive additional weighting in comparison to public schools for purposes of determining which classification a school participates in for a high school sport. Currently, a high school’s enrollment is the only factor in assigning a classification. The bill provides for the gathering of information by the IHSAA and IGHSAU to facilitate the study.
