NASHVILLE (AP) — Gov. Bill Haslam has signed a measure that allows parents to opt their children out of extracurricular school activities.

Under the legislation, schools would notify parents about the activities "by way of student handbooks or policy guidebooks."

Sponsors have said those parents who don't want their children to participate in a certain activity can send a note to the school.

The legislation unanimously passed the Senate 31-0 and was approved 75-14 in the House.
