Promotes safety of youth sports by requiring coaches to complete abuse prevention training and adopt prohibited conduct policies.

The bill mandates that youth sports organizations require coaches to complete an abuse prevention training program before starting their position. It also requires the development of a prohibited conduct policy for youth athletic activities, which must be adopted by youth sports organizations and school districts. The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association is tasked with developing this policy, which must include a list of prohibited conduct by parents, spectators, coaches, and athletes, and a mandatory reporting policy for adults who have knowledge of prohibited conduct.
