Prohibits children twelve years old and younger from playing tackle football

This bill bans children 12 years old and younger from playing organized tackle football, directly affecting youth athletes, schools, and sports leagues. It allows non-tackle football (like flag football) but prohibits any activity involving physical tackling that stops a player's forward movement or forces them to the ground. Schools or leagues violating the ban face civil penalties under public health law. The law takes immediate effect and defines "tackle" as physically impeding a ball carrier to stop their movement.
