Bill summary

House committee substitute amends the 1st edition as follows.

Expands the scope of the act to also include Avery, Cherokee, Clay, Davidson, Graham, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Montgomery, Rowan, Stanly County, Union, and Yancey Counties (was, Union County only).

Now authorizes rather than requires all public and nonpublic high schools to allow spectators at outdoor sporting events for the remainder of the scheduled 2020-21 school year as specified by the act. 

Adds that for outdoor sporting facilities allowing spectators to bring their own seats, individuals sitting in their own seats do not count toward the limit on the number of spectators so long as those individuals maintain at least six feet of distance between themselves and anyone outside of their family. Makes additional clarifying and technical changes. 

Changes the act's long title.
