The Haryana State Sports Associations (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2024

General202430 sections

This Act establishes a formal regulatory framework for sports associations operating within Haryana to ensure transparency, accountability, and fair play in sports administration. It mandates that all State and District level sports associations register with the newly created Haryana Sports Registration Council or Regional Sports Registration Councils. By requiring these bodies to conduct regular championships, maintain proper financial records, and provide grievance redressal mechanisms, the law aims to protect the interests of athletes. It also imposes strict penalties, including fines and potential imprisonment, for non-compliance or unauthorized use of the state's name, ultimately ensuring that sports governance in Haryana remains professional, fair, and athlete-centric.
