Plain-English Summary

The legislation would require colleges and universities to establish safety protocols and medical standards to prevent heat-related deaths among student athletes during practice and competition. Schools would need to implement measures like mandatory hydration breaks, limits on practice intensity during hot weather, and access to cooling equipment and trained medical personnel. These requirements would apply to all athletic programs and aim to protect student athletes from heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
