HB 2403 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Provides for a transfer board to be responsible for handling appeals of decisions made by statewide activities associations

HB 2403 creates a new "Transfer Board" to review appeals when students are affected by decisions made by statewide school sports and activity associations (like those organizing high school tournaments). The board, composed of six members appointed by legislative leaders and one by the governor, will handle appeals filed by students within 30 business days of a decision. The board must meet within five business days of receiving an appeal and issue a final ruling within 24 hours. This bill directly affects students in public schools participating in activities facilitated by these associations, ensuring a neutral, time-bound process for challenging association rulings.
