What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits a school district from being a member of an interscholastic

athletic association unless the association elects to be governed by the state's public

records and open meetings laws. An interscholastic athletic association that elects

to be governed by the public records and open meetings laws is subject to those laws.

Under the bill, an interscholastic athletic association can be either a nonprofit,

unincorporated association or a nonstock, nonprofit corporation, if the

unincorporated association or corporation coordinates athletic events or contests for

students enrolled in grades 9 to 12 in the public schools.
