The distribution by schools of a concussion and head injury information sheet and the participation by pupils in a youth athletic activity

What it does

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, a person operating a "youth athletic activity," generally defined as an organized athletic activity in which a majority of the participants are under 19 years of age, must distribute to participants at the start of the season for that activity a concussion and head injury information sheet. No person may participate in the activity unless he or she returns the information sheet signed by the person and, if he or she is under the age of 19, by his or her parent or guardian.

This bill provides that a public or private school is not required to distribute an information sheet to a pupil who wishes to participate in a youth athletic activity operated by the school during a school year, and that a pupil may participate in that youth athletic activity without returning the information sheet for that activity, if the pupil returned an appropriately signed information sheet for another youth athletic activity operated by the school during the same school year.
