Congress voids UAAP’s two-year residency rule

Congress has outlawed the two-year residency requirement for high school student-athletes enrolling to another university and banned schools from imposing liabilities on student-athletes who switch schools.

This developed after the House of Representatives ratified the Bicameral Conference Committee report on House Bill 5115 and Senate Bill 2226 or Student-Athletes Protection Act which regulates the residency requirement of student-athletes.
