Rep. Coffey has introduced House Bill 5880, which aims to support student athletes by allowing them to participate in interscholastic athletic practices and events. The legislation emphasizes the importance of including student athletes in activities that have a positive impact on their lives.

"Interscholastic athletics or any form of athletic competition among schools and students within Illinois are allowed to participate in interscholastic athletic practices and events as a member of the team of a school in the school district," stated Rep. Coffey.

The bill seeks to ensure that students are not restricted from engaging in sports activities, highlighting the beneficial influence these activities can have on young individuals.
