AN ACT relating to interscholastic athletics.

HB 292 amends Kentucky's interscholastic athletics eligibility rules to clarify requirements for student athletes. It establishes that schools must sponsor sports aligned with NCAA scholarship offerings (Section 1(a)), sets an age cutoff for eligibility (students turning 19 before August 1 are ineligible, with limited exceptions), and requires gender eligibility to be determined by birth certificate or a physician's affidavit (Section 1(g)). The bill directly affects all Kentucky high school athletes, coaches, and school administrators by standardizing eligibility criteria for participation in varsity sports. These changes update existing rules without creating new procedural requirements for legislative processes.
