HB 1197 Illinois House · 97th Regular Session

STUDENT ATHLETE-CONCUSSION

Summary
Amends the School Code and the Critical Health Problems and Comprehensive Health Education Act. Requires all schools, whether public or private, who are members of the Illinois High School Association to adopt a student athlete injury policy that provides that if a student athlete is injured during play and the coach suspects that the student might have a concussion, then the student is prohibited from returning to play until a physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches, an advanced practice nurse, or a physician's assistant authorizes the student to return to play. Urges school boards to encourage their teachers and other school personnel who coach school athletic programs and other extracurricular school activities to acquire training in recognizing the symptoms of a concussion and the proper steps to take in suspected concussion cases.
