This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section, 15-102.01, to the Arizona Revised Statutes. Under the new law, public schools would be prohibited from allowing students in grades six, seven, or eight to participate in or join any student club or organization without first obtaining written parental permission. The bill mandates that when schools request this permission, they must provide a description of the club's purpose, activities, and supporters.

Additionally, the bill defines "student club or organization" to include any athletic team, association, or similar group affiliated with a public school, primarily consisting of enrolled students. It also specifies that this definition encompasses any club or activity mentioned in the existing statute, A.R.S. § 15-102, subsection A, paragraph 7. Overall, the bill aims to enhance parental involvement in students' extracurricular activities by ensuring that parents are informed and give consent before their children can participate.
