Requires Director of Division of Housing and Community Resources in DCA to establish grant program to encourage municipalities to develop recreational sports and STEM programs for children; appropriates $10 million.

This bill establishes a $10 million grant program to help New Jersey municipalities create free or low-cost recreational sports and STEM programs for children. Municipalities must apply for the grant, provide a matching dollar amount, and detail their plans for age-appropriate activities like robot-building, 3D printing, and Lego programs. Participating municipalities must report on program usage, impact, and expenditures within one year, with reports made publicly available. The bill prohibits charging participation fees for these programs but allows limited fees for premium services like field lighting or scoreboard use.
