What’s in it
This bill prohibits a school district from expending any moneys to pay dues or membership fees to the Iowa high school athletic association (IHSAA) or the Iowa girls high school athletic union (IGHSAU) on or after January 1, 2022. The bill authorizes a school district to expend moneys to pay dues or membership fees to a single organization that is a successor organization to both the IHSAA and the IGHSAU on or after January 1, 2022. The bill contains similar requirements for the expenditure of any moneys originating from the state by an accredited or unaccredited nonpublic school.
Read the full explanation
If the IHSAA or the IGHSAU ceases to operate as an independent organization, the bill requires the IHSAA or the IGHSAU to notify the department of education in writing of the date on which such operation shall cease prior to cessation of operation. Upon receiving such notice, the bill requires the department to submit a report to the governor and the general assembly within days recommending any legislation necessary to reflect the cessation of operation of the IHSAA or the IGHSAU and the commencement of operation of any successor organization.
