Establishes task force to examine issues and make recommendations concerning youth sports, including abusive coaching, confrontational parents, and bullying of players.
S 2282 establishes a 13-member Youth Sports Task Force to study and recommend solutions for issues in youth sports, including abusive coaching, confrontational parents, and bullying. The task force includes six experts in bullying-related fields, four public members (such as parents and a youth victim of bullying), and three coaches. It will examine specific areas like protecting athletes from unscrupulous for-profit sports entities, improving coach training on bullying, creating parent workshops, and safeguarding sports officials. The task force must submit a final report with recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within one year of forming, after which it will expire. This bill creates a study group with no immediate policy changes - it only sets up an examination process.
