The proposed bill establishes the Sports Equipment Equity Pilot Program, which will be administered by the Commissioner of Education over a two-year period. The program aims to enhance school athletic programs by providing grants to school districts for sports equipment and resources that facilitate student participation in sports and physical activities. School districts interested in applying for these grants must submit an application that includes relevant information demonstrating the need for the program, details about the current availability and quality of athletic equipment, and any additional information as required by the commissioner.

The commissioner will select six school districts to participate in the pilot program, ensuring a diverse representation from southern, central, and northern regions, as well as urban, suburban, and rural areas. At the end of the program, each participating district must submit a report detailing the number of students served and their feedback on the program's success. Following this, the commissioner will compile a report for the Governor and the Legislature, assessing the program's implementation and effectiveness, along with recommendations for its continuation and potential expansion to other districts.
