INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Strickland

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2006

   An act to add Section 33355 to the Education Code, relating to
pupils.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2312, as introduced, Strickland  Pupil transfer policy:
interscholastic athletics and activities.
   Under existing law, the State Department of Education has certain
authority over interscholastic activities including that if the
department states that a school district, an association, or
consortium of school districts, or the California Interscholastic
Federation is not in compliance with state or federal law, the
department may require the school district, association, or
consortium, or the federation to adjust its policy so that it is in
compliance.  Under existing law, the department is prohibited from
determining the specific policy that a school district, association,
or consortium, or the federation must adopt in order to comply with
state and federal laws.
   This bill would prohibit school districts, associations or
consortia of school districts, the California Interscholastic
Federation, voluntary associations, or any other entity that governs
interscholastic athletics or activities from prohibiting a pupil who
transfers to a school from participating in interscholastic athletics
or activities at that school.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
