The bill amends the Public School Choice Act of 2015 to clarify the conditions under which a student who transfers to another public school or a nonresident district can participate in extracurricular activities. Specifically, it states that a student cannot be denied participation or disciplined solely based on their decision to transfer. This provision aims to protect students' rights and ensure they are not penalized for exercising their choice to move to a different school.

However, the bill introduces a new stipulation that allows a public school or nonresident district to prohibit a student from participating in extracurricular activities for a period of 365 days if the student has transferred for two consecutive years. This addition seeks to address concerns about students frequently transferring and its potential impact on school programs and team stability.
