AI Summary

This concurrent resolution creates a special legislative committee to conduct a comprehensive study of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA), a governing body that oversees high school sports in the state. The ten-member committee, composed of representatives from both the House and Senate, will investigate various aspects of the LHSAA, including its rules, potential conflicts of interest, policies related to academic priorities, transfer rules, and school classifications. The committee will have broad investigative powers, such as holding hearings, subpoenaing witnesses, and requiring the production of books and records. Their specific objectives include reviewing LHSAA contracts, examining the fairness of its governance practices, analyzing the financial implications of membership, and exploring alternative administrative models for high school athletics. The committee will be active from July 1, 2025, through February 14, 2026, and is required to submit a detailed report of its findings and recommendations to the House and Senate Education Committees by February 14, 2026. The resolution aims to ensure that high school athletics are governed in a transparent, fair, and academically focused manner that serves the best interests of student-athletes, schools, and taxpayers.
