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 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.
