State Interpreters in my state work for the state, not a local association. They run all the rules interpretation meetings (required that all officials attend and all schools attend this meeting or else).

From my understanding you do not apply someone picks you or requests that you participate. Usually Rules Interpreters are current officials or former officials that have worked the state finals (and the occasional accomplished college official that might be an educator, e.g. Ed Hightower) are usually the rules interpreters. Also the Sport Administrator can also run a rules meeting and they work directly out of the IHSA Office (and they are not officials of that sport).
