Virgnia's House of Delegates has passed legislation to allow home-schooled students to play public school sports.
The House voted today to pass the so-called "Tebow bill", a reference to the New York Jets quarterback who was home-schooled but played high school football in Florida.
It now goes to the Senate, where the Education and Health Committee killed the same bill last year.
Supporters of the bill say home-schooled children deserve the opportunity to play because their parents pay taxes to support public schools.
