RUNNINGMAN67 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This type of bill gets filed along with thousands of other bills every year. Rarely do these ever even get taken up in committee. They just die. Doesn’t matter until they at least make it out of committee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 The last sentence in Section 1 keeps MHSAA rules in place. Many of these bills are start to look like ok MHSAA its time to change or update your by laws. They don't have to pass any change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhoundtransplant Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 It's a tale of two approaches this year though. The Senate is filing all individual bills and the House filed one large bill. I would not be surprised if the house bill leaves the Senate floor with a one time no penalty transfer in their version. 10 minutes ago, Rebel Bert said: The last sentence in Section 1 keeps MHSAA rules in place. Many of these bills are start to look like ok MHSAA its time to change or update your by laws. They don't have to pass any change. It basically says everything else stays but they get one free transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
