There's a large amount of opposition to House Bill 1403, a bill sponsored by Lakeland's Kelli Stargel, and it's coming from county athletic directors across the state, people embedded in their communities.

 

So why didn't Stargel or members of the legislature listen to them when voting to pass it?

 

The bill, which is sitting on Gov. Rick Scott's desk, would change the way eligibility is determined for high school athletes. He has until Saturday to sign it, veto it or let it become law without his signature.
