House Bill 6039 and House Bill 6040 would amend the Career and Technical Preparation Act and the Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act, respectively, to allow an eligible student enrolled in a career and technical preparation program or in a postsecondary institution, as applicable, to participate in intercollegiate athletics if the student met the following requirements:

 --       The eligible student was enrolled in an early middle college program.

 --       The eligible student was in his or her fifth year of high school in an early middle college program.
