A bill for an act implementing requirements related to organizations that sponsor or administer extracurricular interscholastic athletics, including the creation of a conference realignment committee.

SF 446 requires Iowa high school athletic conferences to obtain approval from a newly created "conference realignment committee" before changing membership or conference affiliation. This affects all public school districts and accredited nonpublic schools participating in state-sponsored interscholastic athletics. The committee must review all conference change requests, considering factors like school enrollment, travel distances, program comparability, and traditional rivalries, and may require adjustments to ensure reasonable conference alignment. Schools must also offer at least one boys' and one girls' sport each season (fall, winter, spring, summer) to remain eligible, and unauthorized conference withdrawals result in a two-year competition ban.
