MI HB5402

School districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies cannot charge fees for extracurricular activities unless they adopt a compliant fee policy.

Fee policies must specify which activities are subject to fees and provide a formula that accounts only for direct activity costs, excluding staff salaries and facility maintenance.

Fee calculations must be made independently for each activity based solely on that activity's costs, with transportation costs limited to mileage-based charges.

Policies must waive fees for pupils meeting free or reduced-price lunch income eligibility criteria under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.

Policies must establish a process for pupils to apply for fee waivers based on individual circumstances beyond the automatic eligibility criteria.
