This bill, S.F. No. 1829, proposed in the Minnesota Senate, seeks to enhance public safety in youth athletics by imposing civil penalties on individuals who disrupt or physically interfere with youth athletic activities. Specifically, it allows the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission to issue fines of up to $1,000 for such behavior.

Additionally, the bill establishes a Youth Officiating Account, which will fund grants to support officiating in youth sports. To implement these changes, the bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 240A.03, by adding a new subdivision and introduces a new section in Minnesota Statutes chapter 240A.

The bill was introduced on February 24, 2025, and referred to the Judiciary and Public Safety Committee for further consideration.
