Bill > HB0172

This bill amends provisions related to student athletes within the public education system. It clarifies that the attorney general shall defend and the state shall indemnify persons acting under state law to enforce the student athlete participation laws. The bill also specifies requirements for associations that oversee interscholastic athletics, such as collecting student birth certificates or equivalent documentation to determine eligibility. The bill includes exceptions for homeless students and students who are not U.S. citizens and cannot provide a birth certificate. The effective date depends on whether the bill is approved by two-thirds of the legislature. The bill also includes coordinating language to ensure consistency with another bill related to sex-based designations for student athletes.
