Summary

The bill bars Alabama public K‑12 schools from being members of any athletic association whose governing board is not at least 50% appointed by the governor, speaker of the House, president pro tempore of the Senate, or lieutenant governor, and from joining associations that enforce student‑athlete eligibility rules not created under the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act. It also authorizes the Legislative Council to allow any entity to voluntarily adopt rules using that same administrative process. The goal is to increase state oversight of rulemaking that affects school athletics.
