New Act
Synopsis As Introduced

Creates the Right to Play Act. Provides that a student who is a member of a school athletic activity may participate in a nonschool athletic activity that is of the same sport as the school athletic activity during the season in which the student participates in the school athletic activity without losing eligibility to participate in the school athletic activity, provided that the student may not participate in both the nonschool athletic activity and a school athletic practice or competition for the same sport on the same day.

House Floor Amendment No. 1

Provides that the student may participate with a waiver granted by the principal or athletic director from the student's school. Provides that the waiver may also apply to "all-star team" events and that up to 2 waivers per student may be granted over the course of each school year. Requires the waiver to be reported by the school granting the waiver to an association or other entity that has as one of its purposes promoting, sponsoring, regulating, or in any manner providing for interscholastic athletics or any form of athletic competition among schools and students within the State. Removes language that provides that the student may not participate in both the nonschool athletic activity and a school athletic practice or competition for the same sport on the same day. Corrects terminology and typographical errors.
