Overview
This bill requires the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) to implement a system for annually verifying the eligibility of its officials who officiate CIF contests. The system will require officials to register through a platform that includes a statewide background screening (until 2028), verification of a valid Activity Supervisor Clearance Certificate, records of rules tests, training, and liability insurance, and regular updates based on the Commission on Teacher Credentialing’s list of suspended or revoked certificates. The goal is to ensure that officials are qualified and eligible to officiate, and to provide participating schools with access to verify official eligibility.
