AI Summary
This bill, known as the Inclusive Athletic Attire Act, requires county boards of education, the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association, public institutions of higher education, and community college boards of trustees to allow student athletes to modify their athletic or team uniforms to make the attire more modest to conform to the requirements or preferences of the student's religion, culture, or their own preferences for modesty. The bill specifies that acceptable modifications include wearing head coverings for religious reasons, undershirts, or leggings, as long as the modifications do not interfere with the student's movement or pose a safety hazard. The student athlete is responsible for the costs associated with the uniform modifications, but the institution is not prohibited from providing the modifications to the student.
