Bill > SB0064

This bill appropriates $5,500,000 from the General Revenue Fund (the state's primary operating fund) to the Department of Human Services (DHS) specifically to provide a grant to the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation USA. The grant is intended to support the foundation's youth-development based sports initiatives, which likely involve using sports as a tool to provide educational, social, and developmental opportunities for young people. The bill specifies that the full amount of $5,500,000 may be used, or a lesser amount if not all funds are required, and will become effective on July 1, 2025. By allocating these funds, the state is demonstrating support for youth programming that uses sports as a mechanism for positive youth engagement and development.
