SB 272 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to interscholastic activities. (BDR 34-602)

SB 272 revises Nevada's rules for student eligibility in school sports after transferring schools. It requires the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association to create a process allowing students to appeal eligibility decisions if they face a hardship, such as emotional distress causing the school change. Students can provide evidence like a signed affidavit or a mental health professional's written testimony to demonstrate this hardship. The bill directly affects transfer students who would otherwise be ineligible for 180 days at their new school. It does not change the 180-day rule but adds a specific hardship exception for emotional distress cases.
