Athletic event payment method.

HB 1534 requires public school corporations and charter schools to offer cash payment options for athletic events starting July 1, 2025. This directly affects schools that currently only accept digital or card payments at events like games or tournaments. The bill mandates that schools provide a cash alternative for ticket purchases and concessions, ensuring accessibility for families without access to electronic payment methods. It does not change ticket pricing or alter event operations beyond the payment method requirement.
