What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person operating a youth athletic activity (defined as an organized athletic activity in which the participants, a majority of whom are under 19 years of age, are engaged in an athletic game or competition against another team, or in practice or preparation for such a game or competition) must distribute a concussion and head injury information sheet to each coach and to each participant in the activity. No person may participate in the activity unless the person returns the sheet signed by the person and, if he or she is under 19 years of age, by his or her parent.
This bill prohibits a person operating a youth athletic activity for which an activity fee is charged from allowing an individual to serve as an official for the activity unless the individual presents evidence satisfactory to the operator that he or she has successfully completed, within the three previous years, an online training program about concussions and head injuries in youth athletic activities that has been approved by the Department of Public Instruction.
