SB 2304 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

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

SB 2304 would have allowed Mississippi high school student-athletes to transfer to another school or school district once during their athletic eligibility without losing eligibility or facing penalties. It applied to all student-athletes in public secondary schools or schools belonging to the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA). The bill’s key provision permitted one transfer without requiring a waiting period or "redshirt" year, while still requiring compliance with other athletic participation rules like academic standards. The bill was scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026, but died in committee in February 2026.
