The bill amends Section 16-91-3 of the "School and Youth Programs Concussion Act" to enhance the guidelines for managing concussions in student athletes. Key insertions include the requirement for school districts to develop and implement specific guidelines, the designation of a certified athletic trainer at each high school, and the stipulation that student athletes suspected of having a concussion must be removed from play immediately. Additionally, it mandates that parents or guardians receive information about the risks of concussions before each sports season and that they acknowledge receipt of this information.

The bill also deletes previous language that encouraged, rather than required, baseline neuropsychological testing for student athletes. It emphasizes the necessity for written clearance from a licensed physician before a student athlete can return to play after a concussion. Overall, the amendments aim to strengthen the safety protocols surrounding concussions in school sports, ensuring that proper training and medical evaluations are in place to protect student athletes.
