Bill Summary

Clarifying participation in athletic safety programs

AI Summary

This bill clarifies who must participate in athletic safety programs and how often they need to do so. Specifically, it amends existing law to require coaches, trainers, parent volunteers, school-employed or volunteering physicians and nurses, school athletic directors, marching band directors, and parents or legal guardians of student athletes to participate in these programs. These individuals will be required to take the program every two years, but if the program has been updated by the relevant department since their last participation, they must take the updated version. This aims to ensure that all individuals involved in extracurricular athletic activities are up-to-date on safety protocols.
