(b) As used in this Code section, the term “participation” means participation in sports try-outs and practices and actual interscholastic extracurricular sports competition.

(c) When a school or school district has a policy which requires students who participate in extracurricular sports to have a physical examination prior to participation, the person conducting the physical examination shall use the State Board of Education approved form pursuant to subsection (d) of this Code section, provided that the form may at the option of the local board include additional elements.

(d) The State Board of Education shall appoint an appropriate committee to make recommendations concerning the comprehensive, preparticipation physical examination form to be used for physical examinations referred to in this Code section.

The final form shall be adopted and may from time to time be modified by rule by the State Board of Education.
