Requires DOE to develop registry of high school student-athletes who sustain concussions or other head injuries.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Education to create a confidential registry tracking concussions and head injuries among high school student-athletes participating in sports or cheerleading programs. Coaches must immediately report injuries to school athletic directors, who then submit weekly data - including injury type, sport, incident details, and recovery time - to the registry. The collected data will help identify injury patterns to develop evidence-based safety protocols for student-athletes. The registry specifically covers both public and nonpublic school athletic programs across New Jersey.
