Bill > HB3583

This bill aims to establish a licensing and regulatory framework for youth sports programs in Texas. It creates the Youth Sports Program Advisory Board, which will provide advice to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) on the administration of the new regulations. The bill requires youth sports programs to obtain a license from TDLR, develop and implement approved concussion and venue safety protocols, and ensure that coaches and trainers complete safety training. The bill also authorizes TDLR to take disciplinary actions, such as denying, revoking, or suspending a license, for violations of the law or regulations. The commission must adopt the necessary rules and procedures by May 1, 2024, and the advisory board must be appointed by January 1, 2024.
