Bill Summary
Prohibition of fees for sports events streaming. Prohibits a school corporation from participating in an association that charges a fee to access a streaming service for certain events.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits Indiana school corporations from participating in any sports association that charges a fee for accessing streaming services for athletic events. The bill defines two key terms: "association" (which references existing Indiana Code IC 20-26-14-1) and "streaming service" (described as an internet or cellular-based platform for watching or listening to content). Specifically, if a sports association requires payment to stream athletic events that it conducts, organizes, sanctions, or sponsors, school corporations will be barred from participating in that association. The provisions of this bill are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, which provides time for schools and associations to adjust to the new requirements. The aim appears to be ensuring that students and communities can freely access sports event streams without additional financial barriers.
