Civil penalty on persons who disrupt or interfere with youth athletic activity imposed, youth officiating account established, and grants provided.

HF 122 imposes civil fines of up to $1,000 on individuals who intentionally disrupt youth athletic events by entering fields, throwing objects, or physically interfering with officials, players, or coaches during games or nearby. It establishes a "youth officiating account" to collect these fines, which funds grants for organizations developing youth officiating programs. The bill applies to disruptions occurring during youth athletic activities as defined in Minnesota law, excluding emergencies or medical assistance. Notification requirements for schools and hearing rights for those fined are also included, with the law taking effect July 1, 2028.
