The Protecting Student Athletes’ Economic Freedom Act of 2024 says that students who play sports for their schools are not like workers at a job, so they don't get the same rules or benefits that workers do, even though they help the school by playing sports.

This bill is like a special rule that helps schools not get in trouble when they follow rules about how much money they can give to students who play sports. It also sets a limit on the amount of extra money these students can get for school each year, but some people worry that this might not be fair or change with time.

The "Fair Play for Women Act" is a rule that says schools should treat boys and girls fairly in sports, giving them the same chances to play and get the same support and money. It also wants schools to share more information about how they help both boys and girls in sports so everyone can see if it’s fair.

Imagine you're playing on your school sports team, like basketball or soccer. This bill wants to make sure that, just because you're playing sports, you aren't called an "employee" of your school. It means you're just a student playing a sport, not a worker for the school.
