(2-7-25) 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.

A portion of the bill reads—
“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.”
KRS 156.070
The same type of changes in Indiana’s transfer rules are being discussed by the Indiana House. State associations recently have been rather lax on transfer rulings and following their own rules.
