A bill for an act relating to open enrollment, student transfers, and interscholastic athletic eligibility requirements, and including effective date provisions.
Signed by Governor. H.J. 1167.
Summary
The bill changes Iowa law so that any student in grades 9‑12 who transfers schools or enrolls in a district outside their residence must wait 140 calendar days before competing in varsity interscholastic athletics, replacing the current 90‑day rule. The restriction applies only to varsity competition, excludes summer enrollment, and retains existing exceptions that allow immediate eligibility in certain situations. The change standardizes the eligibility timeline for transferring and open‑enrollment students.
