Promotion of Youth Sports Act of 2024
This bill establishes a federal grant program to fund school sports access for K-12 students. It provides grants to elementary and secondary schools that comply with Title IX, allowing them to expand athletic programs, cover costs like equipment/uniforms, or reduce participation barriers - especially for girls and women in underrepresented sports. Schools receiving funds must certify they won’t discriminate based on gender identity or sexual orientation. The legislation directly affects public schools seeking to improve equity in youth sports, building on existing Title IX protections for transgender and LGBTQ+ students.
