Provides for random testing for anabolic steroids in athletes in public and private schools; appropriation
S 5413 requires public and private high schools (grades 9-12) to implement random testing for performance-enhancing steroids among student athletes participating in interscholastic sports, including cheerleading. It mandates that 30% of schools (selected by the commissioner) test at least 3% of athletes annually through a random selection process, with parental consent required. Schools must adopt written policies covering testing procedures, privacy safeguards, educational programs, and disciplinary actions for violations. The bill appropriates $1,000,000 for implementation and prohibits schools from charging students for tests. It aims to prevent steroid abuse, ensure athlete safety, and maintain fair competition.
