What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill prohibits a school district from being a member of an interscholastic athletic association in the 2021-22 school year unless, for the 2021-22 school year, the association allows an exception to the association's transfer rules based on the manner in which educational programming was delivered during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years. Specifically, under the bill, for purposes of eligibility for the 2021-22 school year, the interscholastic athletic association must consider the method by which educational programming was delivered during the 2020-21 or 2021-22 school year to be an extenuating circumstance that justifies transferring schools. Under the bill, the “method of delivering educational programming” includes virtual instruction, in-person instruction, and a combination of both virtual and in-person instruction. Additionally, if a waiver is granted based on the method of delivering educational programming in the 2020-21 or 2021-22 school year, the association must allow the pupil to play any level of athletics during the 2021-22 school year, including varsity athletics.
