AB 2204: Prisons: organized sports programming.

The bill aims to add organized sports programming to state prisons. The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation will establish a policy for sports programming in consultation with experts and organizations. The department can solicit proposals, negotiate agreements, and partner with entities to expand access to sports programming. The Second Chance Sports Fund will be created in the state treasury to support these efforts. The government operations agency will advise on fund priorities and approve uses. Funds will be available for sports programming upon appropriation and approval. The treasurer will report on fund deposits annually, starting in 2028.
