AI Summary

This bill mandates that the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), the organization that governs high school sports in California, must require all individuals who coach high school sports under its jurisdiction to complete a student mental health training course. The State Department of Education will be responsible for approving this training, which can be integrated into other existing training programs. Coaches, or those aspiring to coach, will need to provide proof of completing this approved training when they apply for or renew their CIF coaching certification, and they can complete it at any point during their certification period. This measure aims to enhance the well-being of student athletes by ensuring their coaches are equipped with knowledge about mental health.
