Assembly To Vote on Concussion in Sports Bill
The General Assembly is scheduled to vote on A-2743 (the concussion in sports bill) today, Monday, October 25, 2010. The Assembly already passed a version of this bill on June 28th of this year. However, after that passage, the Senate passed an amended version of the bill on October 18th, and now the Assembly needs to approve the version that passed the Senate. This is an important Bill as it requires the development of interscholastic athletic head injury safety training program; requires certain measures to protect student athletes with concussions;and requires continuing education for athletic trainers.
