240A.06 STATE AMATEUR ATHLETIC GAMES.
    Subdivision 1. Sponsorship required. The commission may sponsor and sanction a series of
statewide amateur athletic games patterned after the winter and summer Olympic Games, with
variations as required by facilities, equipment, and expertise, and as necessary to include people
with physical disabilities and visual and hearing impairments. The games may be held annually
beginning in 1989, if money and facilities are available, unless the time of the games would
conflict with other sporting events as the commission determines.
    Subd. 2. Limitations. The games must be designed to encourage the participation of athletes
representing a broad range of age groups, skill levels, Minnesota communities, and people with
physical disabilities and visual and hearing impairments. Primary participants must be residents of
Minnesota. Regional competitions to determine participants in the games may be held throughout
the state, and the top qualifiers in each sport or the regional competitions are qualified to participate
in the state amateur athletic games. The games must be held at an appropriate site in the state.
