What’s in it
This bill requires the Iowa high school athletic association and the Iowa girls high school athletic union to jointly develop and implement a policy establishing academic eligibility standards for students participating in extracurricular interscholastic athletic contests or competitions. The policy shall not impose multiple periods of ineligibility for a single violation of the policy. The bill provides that the department of education does not have the authority to adopt administrative rules on the same subject.
Read the full explanation
The bill provides that such administrative rules previously adopted by the department of education shall continue to be effective until the Iowa high school athletic association and the Iowa girls high school athletic union have implemented a policy as required in the bill and jointly provided written notice to that effect to the department. The bill requires the department to commence rulemaking to rescind such rules upon receiving such notice.
