The bill mandates that the Minnesota State High School League officially sanction cricket as an interscholastic athletic activity. It requires the league to amend its bylaws to include cricket, establish an appropriate season—preferably in spring—and make necessary determinations regarding participation. The bill outlines a structured implementation plan, which includes forming a cricket advisory group and initiating pilot programs in at least three schools during the 2025-2026 school year.
Furthermore, the league is tasked with expanding participation to additional schools in the following school year (2026-2027) and finalizing rules for cricket competitions. The goal is to have a fully operational cricket season as a league-sanctioned activity by the start of the 2027-2028 school year. The provisions of this bill will take effect on July 1, 2025.
