BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
| Section 1. That section 3313.538 of the Revised Code be | 4 |
| enacted to read as follows: | 5 |
| Sec. 3313.538. (A) Any student from a country or province | 6 |
| outside the United States who attends an elementary or secondary | 7 |
| school in this state that accepts the role of the parent in loco | 8 |
| parentis or who resides in a dormitory that is owned or operated | 9 |
| by the school shall be permitted to participate in | 10 |
| interscholastic athletics on the same basis as students who are | 11 |
| residents of this state and whose parents reside in this state. | 12 |
| (B) No student who attends school in this state shall be | 13 |
| denied the opportunity to participate in interscholastic | 14 |
| athletics solely because the student's parents do not reside in | 15 |
| this state, if the student resides in this state with the | 16 |
| student's grandparent, uncle, aunt, or sibling who has legal or | 17 |
| temporary custody of the student or is the guardian of the | 18 |
| student. | 19 |
| (C) No school district, school, interscholastic conference, | 20 |
| or organization that regulates interscholastic conferences or | 21 |
| events shall have a rule, bylaw, or other regulation that | 22 |
| conflicts with this section. | 23 |
| (D) As used in this section, "legal custody," "temporary | 24 |
| custody," and "guardian" have the same meanings as in section | 25 |
| 2151.011 of the Revised Code. | 26 |
