Education; CHOOSE Act's athletic-eligibility nondiscrimination provision, enforcement mechanism established; private right of action established

This bill strengthens enforcement of the CHOOSE Act's athletic eligibility protections by allowing parents and students to sue interscholastic athletic associations if they are denied participation based solely on using the CHOOSE Act. It creates a private right of action that lets affected parties seek court orders to stop discriminatory policies and recover damages, with courts required to prioritize allowing students to play sports over maintaining the current situation. The law also permits prevailing parties to receive reasonable attorney fees and applies to any past or future violations by athletic associations like the Alabama High School Athletic Association. These changes aim to ensure that families using educational savings accounts can access interscholastic athletics without discrimination.
