Bill > SB0115

This bill amends the Interscholastic Athletic Organization Act to require that any athletic association or organization that receives membership dues or fees from public school governing bodies must provide equal access to interscholastic athletics for all students, regardless of whether they attend public schools, nonpublic schools, or are homeschooled. Specifically, such organizations cannot maintain bylaws, rules, regulations, or policies that discriminate against students based on their school type when it comes to participating in athletic competitions. This means that if an athletic organization gets financial support from public school governing bodies, they must create fair and inclusive opportunities for all students to participate in sports, ensuring that students from different educational backgrounds have the same chance to compete. The bill is designed to promote equal access and prevent potential barriers to athletic participation based on the type of school a student attends.
