Plain-English Summary
This bill would require schools to establish safety protocols for student athletes who suffer concussions, including baseline testing before sports seasons, immediate removal from play after a suspected concussion, and medical clearance before returning to competition. The law would set national standards to help prevent serious brain injuries and ensure young athletes don't return to sports too quickly while still recovering. Schools that fail to follow these rules could face penalties, affecting coaches, athletic directors, and school administrators responsible for student safety.
