Chapter 385B - Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association
NRS 385B.145 - Eligibility of pupil who attended school in another country as foreign exchange student to participate in sanctioned sport.


1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, if a pupil who attended a school in another country as a foreign exchange student upon return enrolls in the same school attended before attending school in another country, the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association shall hold the pupil harmless for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in a sanctioned sport so that the pupil may participate in a sanctioned sport to the same extent as though he or she had not attended school in another country, including, without limitation, not considering the period during which the pupil was attending school in the other country and waiving any eligibility requirements that may otherwise prevent the pupil from participating in a sanctioned sport solely because of the circumstances caused by attending school in another country as a foreign exchange student.
2. The provisions of this section do not apply to a pupil described in subsection 1 who exceeds the age allowed for participation in a sanctioned sport.
