A bill for an act relating to minimum roster sizes for interscholastic sports.

HF 2170 requires the Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union to establish minimum preseason and in-season roster sizes for all high school sports teams. Teams failing to meet these minimums cannot participate in official competitions sponsored by these organizations. Students who were on a roster the day before their team becomes ineligible due to low numbers may transfer to any public school within 30 miles for the rest of the season, without needing a formal transfer agreement. This transfer also satisfies residency requirements for athletic eligibility under state law.
