SF 141 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to forms of payment for entry into an extracurricular interscholastic athletic contest or competition.

SF 141 requires public schools and extracurricular athletic organizations to accept cash (legal tender) for entry fees to interscholastic sports events. It directly affects public schools and athletic organizations that sponsor competitions, mandating cash acceptance as a condition for registration with the Iowa Department of Education. The bill does not restrict other payment methods but ensures cash remains an option for families. This policy change applies to all entry fees for school-sponsored athletic contests.
