Bill Summary

General Description: This bill prohibits a public school from participating in an activities association that imposes periods of ineligibility on certain students.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to prohibit public schools from participating in any activities association that imposes periods of ineligibility on students for certain reasons, including transferring schools for reasons like open enrollment or school choice, moving to a new school's attendance zone, or being a victim of bullying at their previous school. The bill also prohibits such ineligibility if a student has been a victim of bullying, even if the previous school didn't officially certify it, and it prevents associations from imposing ineligibility if a student receives compensation for participating in an interscholastic activity. Additionally, the bill clarifies requirements for associations to collect student documentation, such as birth certificates or equivalent identification, to determine eligibility, with specific provisions for non-U.S. citizens and homeless students, and it sets an effective date of July 1, 2026.
