National Police Athletic/Activities League Youth Enrichment Reauthorization Act

This bill authorizes the Assistant Attorney General to award annual grants to the National Police Athletic/Activities League (National PAL) from fiscal years 2028 through 2032. The primary goal is to enhance academic and social outcomes for youth, reduce juvenile crime rates, and mitigate the risk of youth victimization. These objectives are pursued by providing productive activities led by law enforcement during non-school hours, fostering positive relationships between police and young people, particularly in distressed areas and public housing projects. Grant funds will be used to establish 250 new PAL chapters over five years, aiming for at least 500 chapters by 2032, and to expand existing chapters to serve more youth. Each assisted PAL chapter must conduct at least two non-school hour programs, including mentorship, academic assistance, recreational activities, or technology training, along with other programs like drug prevention, health counseling, or job skill preparation. The bill authorizes $16,000,000 annually for these efforts, with specific allocations for research, technical assistance, and program administration, and requires regular reports to Congress on progress and effectiveness.
