(Harrisburg, PA) Pennsylvania House Bill 41, introduced by Representative Scott Conklin of Centre County, would allow the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) to separate boundary and non-boundary schools for postseason competition. 

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives considered two amendments to the bill yesterday. One passed unanimously, while the other failed on a 104-97 vote. 

The approved amendment, introduced by Representative Rob Matzie, would indemnify the PIAA. 

The bill advanced through second consideration in the House and could be brought up for a final vote as soon as today. 

If approved, the measure would not require the PIAA to change its current system but would give the organization the option to do so.
