A bill TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY AMENDING SECTION 59-63-100, RELATING TO NONPUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN THE INTERSCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS, SO AS TO PROVIDE LIMITED SITUATIONS IN WHICH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO ATTEND A PRIVATE OR CHARTER SCHOOL MAY PARTICIPATE IN HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE SPORTS OFFERED AT PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS, AND TO DEFINE NECESSARY TERMS.

AI Summary

This bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to allow high school students who attend private or charter schools that are not members of the South Carolina High School League to participate in interscholastic sports offered at public high schools under certain conditions. The key provisions include allowing such students to try out for and participate in public school sports if their private or charter school does not offer the sport, they reside within the public school's attendance zone, and they meet the public school's eligibility requirements except for attendance and enrollment. The bill also prohibits public school districts from contracting with private entities that prohibit private or charter school student participation in their interscholastic athletic programs.
