Governor Vetoes Bill Allowing Schools to Decide Spectator Policies

The Governor has vetoed a bill that would have given school districts the sole ability to make decisions on sports, including whether and how many spectators to allow.

The Wolf administration’s gathering limits of 25 people indoors and 250 people outdoors apply to youth sports, but legislation that cleared the state House and Senate would have empowered schools to make their own rules about the number of spectators permitted at games.

Gov. Wolf said in a statement announcing the veto that the bill is “entirely unnecessary.”
