SB100 - Youth Sports Safety Requirements

• Youth sports organizations and local governments must have at least one adult with current first aid, CPR, and AED certification present at each youth athletic activity
• Coaches and chaperones on overnight trips must obtain a seven-year criminal background check prior to employment and every three years thereafter, including an international background check if they lived outside the U.S. for more than 180 days
• Disqualifying offenses for coaches and chaperones now include crimes of violence in addition to existing prohibitions on felony child abuse and sexual offenses
• Creates a civil cause of action against youth sports organizations or local governments that fail to conduct required background checks when deliberate indifference or reckless disregard is shown and a child is subsequently harmed
• Volunteer-only training activities are exempt from the CPR/first aid requirement, and occasional volunteers who are not coaches must be supervised by someone who has passed a background check
