HB 1140 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO DEFINE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER REGARDING STUDENT ATHLETE CONCUSSION EDUCATION.

HB 1140 aimed to define which healthcare providers are responsible for delivering concussion education to student athletes in schools. The bill sought to clarify that specific medical professionals (like physicians or certified nurse practitioners) must provide this education, directly affecting student athletes, school staff, and healthcare providers. However, the bill was withdrawn by its author on March 18, 2025, before becoming law, so it did not implement any policy changes. As a definition-focused bill, it did not establish new requirements or funding but was intended to standardize who qualifies for this educational role.
