What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires a school board, governing body of a private school, or operator

of a charter school that hosts a youth athletic activity between May 1 and September

30 to ensure that a cold water immersion tub that complies with standards

established by the Department of Health Services is available to individuals

participating in the youth athletic activity. Under the bill, a youth athletic activity

is 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, club, or entity, or in practice or preparation for an organized athletic

game or competition against another team, club, or entity.

The bill also requires DHS to promulgate rules establishing standards,

guidelines, and protocols for the cold water immersion tubs required to be made

available under the bill.
