Abstract
AB 2404, the Gender Equity for Community Youth Athletics Bill, dictates that California local governments and special districts comply with the mandated gender equity policy or else be subject to civil action for non-compliance. Currently, the City of Sacramento Department of Parks and Recreation Department does not have a formal program or policy in place that specifically addresses gender equity in youth sports issues. Nor does the Department actually know if there are gender equity gaps in existing youth athletics programs and if so, where and what those gaps are. This project explores the City of Sacramento Department of Parks and Recreation readiness in meeting the legislative requirements of AB 2404 and makes recommendations for compliance in a timely manner.
