School Sports Safety Study Act
HR 4371, the School Sports Safety Study Act, directs the CDC (through the Secretary of Health and Human Services) to study the causes of deaths and catastrophic injuries in high school and collegiate sports, with input from coaches, parents, and medical professionals. The study will review existing research, evaluate AED and CPR effectiveness, and develop specific prevention recommendations for schools, coaches, and medical protocols. These recommendations will be shared with all U.S. high schools and colleges, and the CDC must submit a final report to Congress within 18 months of the bill’s enactment. The bill does not mandate new rules but aims to inform future safety efforts based on evidence.
