AL SB417

Creates the "Tim Tebow Act" to allow students instructed at home by a private tutor or under church school law to participate in athletic extracurricular activities at public schools and nonpublic schools that permit such participation.

Requires participating students to register with their local school district, pay the same activity fees as public school students, and adhere to identical standards for behavior, conduct, academic performance, and residency requirements.

Mandates that participating students commit to a single extracurricular activity at one school for the entire school year, though students may participate in different activities at the same school.

Student standards for participation apply beginning in 7th grade, and insurance coverage provided by school boards for extracurricular activities must extend to home-schooled and church-schooled students, with students paying any additional premiums.

Prohibits school teams utilizing these students from being barred from competition and prevents public schools from joining organizations that discriminate against eligible home-schooled or church-schooled student athletes.
