AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 71B of the Massachusetts General Laws to ensure that school-age children with disabilities cannot be prevented from participating in school-sponsored interscholastic athletic or extracurricular activities. The legislation specifically prohibits discrimination against students with disabilities in school-based sports and after-school programs, regardless of any existing laws that might have previously limited such participation. By adding this new provision (Section 18) to the existing law, the bill aims to promote inclusivity and equal opportunities for students with disabilities, ensuring they have the same chances as their peers to engage in school athletic and extracurricular activities.
