S 1793 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Sports Equipment Equity Pilot Program.

S 1793 establishes a two-year Sports Equipment Equity Pilot Program in New Jersey. The bill directs the Commissioner of Education to award grants to six public schools (including districts, charter schools, and renaissance projects) to enhance athletic programs by providing students with sports equipment and related resources. Schools must apply with evidence of need and current equipment quality, and the program prioritizes geographic and demographic diversity across urban, suburban, and rural areas. At the program's end, participating schools must report on student participation and program effectiveness, with the commissioner then recommending to the Governor and Legislature whether to expand the initiative.
