Summary

The bill lets tenth‑through‑twelfth‑grade students who play a school‑sponsored sport and are taking an AP, dual‑enrollment or other college‑level class, or who need extra academic help, swap their physical‑education class for a study hall during the sport’s season. Parents must give written consent and the coach and school counselor must certify eligibility. The substitution counts for the same graduation credit as the PE course.
