An act relating to youth sports in Vermont

This bill allows Vermont public and private schools to join athletic associations without being permanently banned from future participation if a school forfeits a game or tournament. It also establishes two study committees to examine how high school and youth sports programs are regulated and operated across the state. The Vermont Interscholastic Sports Study Committee will review high school athletics oversight and submit recommendations by January 2025, while the Vermont Youth Sports Leagues Study Committee will gather data on privately and municipally run youth sports programs. Both committees will include representatives from various counties and sports, with the first meeting scheduled for July 2024.
