Pennsylvania HB1462 ensures visiting school teams have equal rights to broadcast interscholastic athletic competitions.

Pennsylvania HB1462 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to grant visiting school teams the same rights as home teams to broadcast interscholastic athletic competitions. This applies if the visiting team has a valid agreement for radio broadcasting, video streaming, or telegraphic play-by-play accounts, or if the team has a curricular program that typically provides such broadcasts for home games. The act takes effect immediately and applies to competitions starting in the 2025-2026 school year.
