Minimal direct consumer impact on household spending or purchasing power. Potential indirect effects include increased legal costs for school districts managing policy compliance and possible shifts in private school enrollment decisions by families with strong preferences on this issue.

May prompt Congressional action on sports participation rules, state legislative responses in both directions, and potential Department of Education guidance changes. Could influence school district budgets through legal defense costs.
