Legislative Progress
The bill has strong support from both parties and addresses a popular issue, but many bills struggle to get through the full legislative process during busy sessions.
Key Points
- This bill would provide $16 million every year from 2028 to 2032 to the National Police Athletic League. The money will help existing chapters grow and help start 250 new chapters in public housing and low-income neighborhoods.
- The program uses law enforcement officers to lead after-school activities for kids and teens. These activities include sports, tutoring, computer training, and mentorship to help build trust between police and the community.
- The main goal is to keep kids safe during the hours of 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., which is when they are most likely to be involved in or become victims of crime. It also focuses on helping students stay in school and avoid drugs or gangs.
- To get the money, the national organization must show a plan to reach 500 total chapters by 2032. They must also explain how these new local programs will keep running once the federal government stops providing the initial startup funds.
