Plain-English Summary

This bill would require schools to establish policies and training programs to help prevent, identify, and manage concussions in student athletes. It would likely set standards for when injured athletes must sit out of play, require coaches and athletic staff to receive concussion training, and ensure parents are informed when their child suffers a head injury. The goal is to protect young athletes' health by reducing the risk of serious brain injuries from sports.
