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 ensures that students retain their rights to engage in extracurricular activities regardless of their transfer status.

However, the bill introduces a new provision 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 change aims to address concerns about students frequently transferring schools while still maintaining a level of access to extracurricular opportunities.
