Bill > SF141

This bill mandates that public schools and extracurricular interscholastic athletic organizations must accept legal tender (traditional cash) as a payment method for entry into athletic contests or competitions. Specifically, the bill requires public schools to allow cash payments for admission to any extracurricular interscholastic athletic event sponsored by an athletic organization. Furthermore, as a condition of being registered with the state's department of education, these athletic organizations must also accept cash payments for event entry. The bill defines "organization" by referencing an existing section of law (section 280.13) and creates a new section of law (280.13D) to establish these payment requirements. By doing so, the bill aims to ensure that cash remains a valid and accepted form of payment for school athletic events, potentially preventing organizations from exclusively using digital or alternative payment methods.
