Recreation: athletics and sports; safety standards for youth sports programs; provide for. Creates new act.

This bill establishes the Safe Youth Sports Act to create mandatory safety and training standards for youth sports programs in Michigan. It requires organizing entities, such as local leagues and clubs, to implement basic measures like emergency plans, background checks for adults, and concussion training for coaches and participants. The law also offers an optional advanced tier with additional requirements, including designated safety managers, injury prevention plans, and specialized training on inclusivity and mental health. To support these changes, the state will administer a grant program to help organizations, particularly those serving low-income families, meet the necessary standards. An independent institute will oversee the approval of these standards and maintain a public list of certified organizations.
