SB 2537 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

High school student athletes; allow one transfer without penalty or loss of eligibility.

SB 2537 allows high school student athletes in Mississippi, including those at public schools and schools in the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA), to transfer to a new school or district **once** during their athletic eligibility without losing their ability to compete or facing other penalties. The bill directly affects all student athletes participating in MHSAA-sanctioned sports by removing current restrictions on a single transfer. Its key provision requires schools to permit this one transfer without imposing eligibility loss or additional penalties, though other participation rules still apply. The policy change would take effect on July 1, 2025, if enacted.
