A bill for an act relating to concussion and brain injury training for coaches.

HF 858 requires all Iowa high school coaches and contest officials to complete concussion and brain injury training every two years. The bill directs the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, Iowa High School Athletic Association, and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union to jointly develop training materials covering concussion evaluation, prevention, symptoms, risks, and long-term effects. This modifies existing law by specifically stating coaches must complete the training biennially, reinforcing current requirements without creating new obligations. The bill focuses on standardizing and updating safety protocols for youth sports participants.
