KS SB514

Transfer students in Kansas grades 7-12 become immediately eligible to participate in school activities (athletics, music, forensics, dramatics) at their new school upon transfer during the school year

Students must meet standard eligibility requirements including activities association rules, behavioral standards, skill/ability requirements as determined by the coach or director, and roster capacity limits

One-year ineligibility penalty applies to athletic activities only if the student was recruited, induced, or unduly influenced to transfer primarily for athletic purposes

Schools are prohibited from delaying eligibility or preventing immediate participation for transfer students, except in cases of athletic recruitment

Amends K.S.A. 72-7117 to add a new definition of "nonathletic activities" covering music, forensics, dramatics, and other extracurriculars not classified as athletics
