Reps. Nicole Miller, R-Edmond, and Tim Turner, R-Kinta, this week held an interim study reviewing Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA) eligibility and transfer rules as well as usage of school athletic facilities.
The study, held before the House Common Education Committee, specifically examined the implementation of OSSAA Rule 24, commonly referred to as the 'Link Rule,' which is intended to discourage student athletes from changing school districts to follow a trainer and/or coach for athletic purposes.
Lawmakers said they wanted to consider the rule in relation to Senate Bill 783, passed in 2021, which amended provisions of the Education Open Transfer Act. The act governs student mobility and participation in public school extracurricular activity.
