Kentucky lawmaker Nick Wilson, a Republican representing Kentucky District 82, has introduced an act to amend KRS 156.070. The amendment would allow high school athletes to be ruled immediately eligible after their first transfer.
The proposed amendment reads as follows:
“A student who is enrolled in grades nine (9) through twelve (12), participates in a varsity contest in any interscholastic sport at a member school following enrollment in grade nine (9), and then transfers to another member school shall be eligible to participate in varsity contests in any interscholastic sport at the new member school for the first time the student makes a transfer. Any further transfers of the student shall be subject to the transfer rules or bylaws adopted by the state board or any agency designated by the state board to manage interscholastic athletics.”
