Schools would follow new rules to protect students from concussions.
This bill would require states to create minimum safety rules for how schools prevent and treat concussions for all students. These rules would mean schools educate students and staff, remove students from sports if a concussion is suspected, and provide support for recovery. States that don't follow these rules could lose some federal education money.
Today, there are no federal minimum rules for how states handle concussion prevention and treatment in school sports. Each state has its own approach, which can lead to different levels of safety. If this bill passes, states that receive federal education money would be required to create and enforce minimum concussion safety rules within about five fiscal years. If they don't, they would lose 5 percent of their federal education funding the first year of non-compliance, and 10 percent each year after that.
