Bill overview
This bill, the California Youth Football Act, aims to improve the safety of youth tackle football by requiring leagues, organizations, and coaches to allow participants to use safety equipment, including soft-shelled helmet add-ons. It expands upon existing regulations to ensure players have access to protective gear. The bill also grants courts the authority to issue injunctions to enforce these safety requirements and allows successful plaintiffs to recover attorney’s fees.
