The bill amends Section 20-5-112 of the Montana Code Annotated to allow school districts and athletic organizations to restrict the extracurricular participation of home school students based on their citizenship and residency status. Specifically, it permits these entities to prohibit or limit participation for students who are not United States citizens or who are not residents of Montana. This change introduces new criteria for participation that were not previously included in the law.

Additionally, the bill maintains that students attending nonpublic or home schools must meet the same standards for participation as full-time students enrolled in public schools, and it outlines the requirements for attesting to academic eligibility for these students. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
