The 55th Legislature, through the House of Representatives, has concurred with the Liberian Senate on a bill seeking to establish the National County Sports Meet as a permanent national institution.
The proposed legislation, titled “An Act to Establish the National County Sports Meet for Entertainment and Development,” seeks to provide a legal and institutional framework for the annual sporting competition.
A major provision of the bill is to ensure that the National County Sports Meet is included in Liberia’s National Budget, thereby creating a sustainable funding mechanism and ensuring consistent government support.
The House’s concurrence follows reports and recommendations from its Standing Committees, including the Committee on Youth and Sports.
The proposed law is intended to strengthen the organization, management, and development of the competition while promoting entertainment, sporting activities, and national unity among Liberia’s 15 counties.
If signed into law by the President, the measure would give the National County Sports Meet permanent institutional recognition and establish a framework for its continued operation and development.
The proposed legislation is also expected to provide greater financial stability for the competition, which has remained an important platform for promoting sporting talents and bringing Liberians together through sports.
