Community athletics programs—Nondiscrimination policy required.
(1) By January 1, 2010, each city, town, county, or district operating a community athletics program or issuing permission to a third party for the operation of such program on its facilities shall adopt a policy that specifically prohibits discrimination against any person on the basis of sex in the operation, conduct, or administration of community athletics programs for youth or adults.
(2) It is the responsibility of each city, town, county, or district operating a community athletics program or issuing permission to a third party for the operation of such program on its facilities to publish and disseminate this policy. At a minimum, the nondiscrimination policy should be included in any publication that includes information about the entity's own athletics programs, or about obtaining a permit for operating athletics programs and on the appropriate city, town, county, or district website.

Nothing in this section may be construed to require school districts to monitor compliance, investigate complaints, or otherwise enforce school district policies as to third parties using school district facilities.
(4) Every city, town, county, or district covered by this section should also publish the name, office address, and office telephone number of the employee or employees responsible for its efforts to comply with and carry out its responsibilities under chapter 467, Laws of 2009.
