A BILL

To enact section 3313.538 of the Revised Code to prohibit disqualification of certain students who live with legal or temporary custodians or with guardians from interscholastic athletics solely because their parents do not reside in the state.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

Section 1. That section 3313.538 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:

Sec. 3313.538. (A) No student who attends school in this state shall be denied the opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics solely because the student's parents do not reside in this state, if the student resides in this state with the student's grandparent, uncle, aunt, or sibling who has legal or temporary custody of the student or is the guardian of the student.

(B) No school district, school, interscholastic conference, or organization that regulates interscholastic conferences or events shall have a rule, bylaw, or other regulation that conflicts with this section.

(C) As used in this section, "legal custody," "temporary custody," and "guardian" have the same meanings as in section 2151.011 of the Revised Code.
