House Bill 607: An Act Concerning Athletic Eligibility for School Transfers
Author:
Representative Fite
Summary:
This bill would have granted immediate eligibility for participation in school athletics to students transferring into a public or nonpublic school "if the transfer is the direct result of a military transfer, court-ordered change in custody or legal guardianship, or the enrollment of a homeschooled student in the school. Alabama law does not recognize a "homeschool" as an educational option, so it is unclear how this law would be applied. HSLDA takes a neutral position on this type of legislation.
Status:

| 4/23/2006 |  | Bill died with Legislature adjourned |
