TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the education law, in relation to directing the commissioner of
education to establish rules and regulations for the treatment and
monitoring of students who suffer concussions or head injuries

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
It is the purpose of this legislation to establish standards and
guidelines for school districts regarding concussions and head
injuries sustained during student athletic events.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
The New York state Department of Education shall work in concert with
the New York state Department of Health and the New York State Public
High School Athletic Association to develop guidelines to establish
standards for school districts regarding concussion and head injuries
sustained during school athletic games.

The New York State Department of Education shall work in concert with
the New York State Department of Health and the New York State Public
High School Association to develop pertinent information and forms to
inform and educate coaches, youth athletes, and their parents and/or
guardians of the nature and risk of concussion and head injury
including continuing to play after concussion or head injury.

On a yearly basis, a concussion and head injury information sheet
shall be signed and returned by the youth athlete and the athlete's
parent and/or guardian prior to the youth athlete's initiating
practice or competition.

A youth athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion or head
injury in a practice or game shall be removed from competition at
that time.

A youth athlete who has been removed from play may not return to play
until the athlete is evaluated by a licensed health care provider
trained in the evaluation and management of concussion and receives
written clearance to return to play from that health care provider.

JUSTIFICATION:
Concussions are one of the most commonly reported injuries in children
and adolescents who participate in sports and recreational activities.
The centers for disease control and prevention estimates that as many
as three million nine hundred thousand sports-related and
recreation-related concussions occur in the united States each year.
A concussion is
caused by a blow or motion to the head or body that causes the brain
to move rapidly inside the skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries
or death are significant when a concussion or head injury is not
properly evaluated and managed.

Concussions are a type of brain injury that can range from mild to
severe and can disrupt the way the brain normally works. Concussions
can occur in any organized or unorganized sport or recreational


activity and can result from a fall or from players colliding with
each other, the ground, or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or
without loss of
consciousness, but the vast majority occurs without loss of
consciousness.

Continuing to play with a concussion or symptoms of head injury leaves
the young athlete especially vulnerable to greater injury and even
death. Despite having generally recognized return to play standards
for concussion and head injury, some affected youth athletes are
prematurely returned to play resulting in actual or potential
physical injury or death to youth athletes in the state of New York.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2010- S.7572 - REFERRED TO EDUCATION

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding the
date on which it shall have become a law; provided, that, effective
immediately, any rules and regulations necessary to implement the
provisions of this act on its effective date are authorized and
directed to be completed on or before such date.
