AI Summary

This bill amends Section 60 of Chapter 149 of the General Laws to allow children between the ages of ten and fourteen to serve as referees, coaches, or in other necessary roles for a "youth sporting event," which is defined as an event where all players are under eighteen and sponsored by a public body or a not-for-profit entity. This exception specifically excludes working at a concession stand, and the amendment aims to provide more opportunities for younger individuals to participate in the organization and supervision of youth sports.
