AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- SCHOOL AND YOUTH PROGRAMS CONCUSSION ACT
HB 7901 requires every public school district to designate a certified athletic trainer at each high school within its boundaries. This directly affects high school athletes participating in sports programs and the schools themselves. The key provision mandates that each individual high school must have its own certified trainer on staff, not a district-wide arrangement. The bill aims to standardize concussion care protocols during athletic activities as specified in its title.
