       IN RE:  SB524  by Armbrister (Relating to participation by

The bill prohibits the University Interscholastic League (UIL)  from
denying participation in UIL events to certain private schools by virtue
of their being private.  To be eligible to participate in such events,
however, a private school must meet specific criteria.  It is assumed
that relatively few private schools would meet the criteria outlined in
the legislation.
  
Local Government Impact
  
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
