Bill Summary
An act to add Section 33356 to the Education Code, relating to interscholastic athletics.
AI Summary
This bill requires the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), a voluntary organization that oversees high school athletics in California, to implement a system for annually verifying the eligibility of its sports officials. This verification will occur through a standardized online platform that will include a statewide background check, records of completed rules tests, online training, sport-specific certifications, and ongoing education, as well as proof of liability insurance. The CIF will ensure that participating schools and educational bodies can access this platform to confirm an official's eligibility, though they will not see sensitive personal details. Only officials who are verified as eligible through this platform will be allowed to be assigned to officiate CIF contests.
