AI Generated Summary

This legislative bill (H.F. No.) proposes that all home-schooled students residing in Minnesota should have the right to participate in extracurricular activities offered by public schools. This includes any school-based activities that are non-academic and generally take place outside regular school hours. The bill seeks to modify existing law to ensure that these home-schooled students can join these activities under the same conditions as students attending public schools. The changes are to be made to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 123B.49, subdivision 4. The bill also outlines that the funding for these activities can come from school revenues, and emphasizes that any spending on extracurricular activities must be specifically used for that purpose.
