Secondary school interscholastic athletics; establish property interest in, and guarantee due process.

SB 2152 would have established a legal right for Mississippi public high school student athletes to participate in interscholastic athletics, requiring due process (including notice, a hearing, and appeal rights) before suspension or removal from teams. It directed the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) to create rules for eligibility, disciplinary procedures, and appeals allowing legal counsel. The bill expired in committee on February 12, 2025, before becoming law, and was set to expire on June 30, 2026, if enacted. It would have directly affected all student athletes in Mississippi public secondary schools meeting MHSAA eligibility standards.
