Jordan McNair Student Athlete Heat Fatality Prevention Act
This bill requires colleges and high schools with athletic programs receiving federal funds to create venue-specific emergency plans for heat-related illnesses. These plans must include symptom identification systems, coordination of care protocols, and visible posting in key areas like locker rooms and training facilities. Schools must train all relevant staff and athletes annually on the plan, ensure quick access to cooling equipment (like cold water immersion tubs), and report compliance yearly to the Department of Education. The law aims to prevent heatstroke fatalities by standardizing rapid response procedures, following recommendations from medical experts and the McNair family's advocacy.
