The bill mandates that school districts in New Jersey must allow home-schooled students to participate in school-sponsored extracurricular activities within their district of residence. This includes a variety of activities such as clubs, musical ensembles, interscholastic sports, and theatrical productions, and participation must adhere to the same criteria set for enrolled students. To be eligible, home-schooled students must reside in the district, meet the established eligibility and try-out criteria, and comply with the guidelines that will be developed by the Commissioner of Education. Additionally, if the activity involves interscholastic athletics, students must prove they did not switch to home schooling for athletic advantages.

The bill also stipulates that if a physical examination or medical test is required for participation, home-schooled students must be allowed access to these tests if offered by the school district. The school district is responsible for publishing the relevant dates and times for these examinations on its website. Furthermore, the Commissioner of Education is tasked with creating guidelines to help school districts assess whether home-schooled students are receiving adequate instruction to qualify for extracurricular activities, with these guidelines to be made readily accessible on both the Department of Education's and individual school boards' websites.
