Senate Kills Concussion Bill

The state Senate has killed a proposal that would have required coaches and trainers of organized non-school youth sports and activities to get training about concussions. The 2011 Legislature approved legislation that requires public school districts to set policies on how to handle junior high and high school athletes who suffer concussions. But that bill dealt only with school athletes. The bill offered this year would involve youths in activities sponsored by non-school groups.
