The key change proposed in this bill is to modify the existing timeframe associated with certain processes affecting student athletes by changing 'thirty (30) days' to 'thirty (30) business days'. This adjustment is intended to provide a more practical and realistic timeline for regulatory compliance and responses in the context of athletic governance within educational institutions.

Contention

Potential opposition could stem from concerns that increasing the waiting period might delay critical governance actions or the resolution of matters affecting student athletes. Therefore, scrutiny may continue regarding the practical effects of such amendments on the operations of athletic programs.
