Separates interscholastic athletic championships between public and non-public schools

This bill (A 6478) requires New York State to hold separate interscholastic athletic championships for public schools and non-public schools.

The law directly affects all public and non-public high schools participating in state athletic associations. It takes effect July 1st following enactment, requiring immediate rule changes to implement the separation.
