SB 2604 would have prohibited Mississippi school districts from using public funds to support existing nonprofit organizations regulating high school athletics and extracurricular activities after July 1, 2027. It required creating a 7-member committee (3 from the State Board of Education and 4 legislative appointees) to study oversight options by January 1, 2026, and decide whether to establish a new transparent nonprofit or adopt an existing one with strict reporting requirements. Key provisions included mandating open policymaking, regular financial disclosures to schools, and preventing nonprofits from blocking member schools from competing against nonmembers. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
