Relating to selection of statewide competition locations by the University Interscholastic League.
This bill requires the University Interscholastic League (UIL) to use a formal request-for-proposals process when selecting host locations for its statewide extracurricular competitions. The process mandates that UIL specify selection criteria and require potential hosts (such as colleges or other entities) to submit details about facilities, accommodations, and capabilities. These rules apply only to competitions held on or after September 1, 2026, and take effect September 1, 2025.
