An Act relative to youth soccer referees

This bill allows minors aged twelve or thirteen to work as youth soccer referees for recreational games involving younger players. To ensure safety, the law requires employers to obtain written parental consent, provide the parents with written job responsibilities, offer training to the minor before they start, and have an adult representative present at every match. These rules apply specifically to non-competitive recreational matches and aim to create opportunities for young people to be involved in officiating while maintaining appropriate oversight.
