SF 2212 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to interscholastic athletic scrimmages between schools and nonaccredited home school sports organizations, and including effective date provisions.

This bill allows public schools and accredited nonpublic schools to hold practice-oriented scrimmages with nonaccredited home school sports organizations. It requires a written agreement covering safety protocols, date/location, and liability coverage before any scrimmage, with both parties assuming responsibility for their participants. Scrimmages cannot count toward official records, standings, or eligibility, must be voluntary, limit duration/intensity to practice standards, and cannot charge admission or use play-by-play commentary. The bill specifically defines "nonaccredited home school sports organization" as groups serving students in unaccredited private instruction settings.
