Overview
This bill, SB 342, strengthens protections for students participating in the CHOOSE Act by ensuring they aren't unfairly excluded from K-12 interscholastic athletics. It establishes a legal mechanism to enforce the CHOOSE Act’s athletic-eligibility nondiscrimination provision, allowing students or their parents to sue athletic associations if they face discrimination. The bill also grants courts the authority to order reasonable attorney fees for successful plaintiffs and provides a private right of action for CHOOSE Act participants.
