Summary

The bill amends the rules for student‑athlete eligibility so that a student who moves to a new public school cannot be barred from varsity competition simply for being a transfer. Only students who have already received a suspension, expulsion, or an eligibility sanction from a sports governing body may be restricted. All other standard eligibility requirements – age, safety, academic progress and season limits – remain in force.
