Requires Director of Division of Housing and Community Resources in DCA to establish grant program to encourage municipalities to develop recreational sports and STEM programs for children; appropriates $10 million.

This bill creates a $10 million competitive grant program to fund municipal recreational sports and STEM programs for children. Local governments (municipalities) can apply for matching funds - receiving dollar-for-dollar support - to develop free or low-cost programs like robotics workshops or sports leagues in public spaces such as libraries or recreation centers. To qualify, municipalities must submit detailed plans showing program locations, participant numbers, and how they'll cover matching costs through local funding. The program requires participating municipalities to report annually on program usage and impact, with the state compiling results to share best practices. The bill directly affects New Jersey municipalities and children participating in these community programs.
