Florida’s Second Chance Act is a new law requiring first-time student athletes to receive heart screenings before participating in school sports.

The rule comes as a landmark legal settlement will go into effect July 1. It allows schools to directly pay their players for the use of their name, image, and likeness.

The move is in response to the University of Florida and other state institutions eliminating their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs due to a new state law.

Proposed legislation would shrink the FHSAA board of directors, allow prayers before sporting events for all to hear, and allow schools to join other sports organizations.
