Such a student shall not be denied the opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics solely because the student's parents do not reside in this state. No school district, school, interscholastic conference, or organization that regulates interscholastic conferences or events shall have a rule, bylaw, or other regulation that conflicts with this section.
