 6 by a public school or a private school for students in grades seven
 7 through twelve, which competes against other public or private middle or
 8 high schools, shall not permit persons other than those assigned female

 11 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding
 12 the date on which it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the
 13 addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary
