SB 514 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Authorizing students to participate in school activities immediately upon transfer to another school unless such students were recruited, induced or unduly influenced to transfer for athletic activity participation.

SB 514 allows Kansas students who transfer mid-year to immediately join school activities (like sports, music, or drama) at their new school, unless they were recruited or induced primarily to join for athletic purposes. Students must still meet basic eligibility standards (academic requirements, behavior, skill assessment, and team capacity limits). The rule specifically delays athletic participation for one year if a student transferred solely for sports recruitment, but does not affect eligibility for nonathletic activities like music or debate. Schools cannot delay eligibility for nonathletic transfers or impose unnecessary barriers.
