Provides that the Joint Committee on Education shall be responsible for handling appeals of decisions made by high school activities associations

HB 1046 transfers responsibility for handling appeals of decisions made by high school activities associations to the Joint Committee on Education. This directly affects high school activities associations (nonprofit organizations that run interscholastic competitions for students) and the schools or students involved in disputes over their rulings. The bill requires the committee to convene within 48 hours of receiving an appeal and issue a final ruling within 24 hours, making the decision binding. The high school activities association involved in the appeal must cover the committee's expenses during the process.
