AI Summary
This bill amends sections 9155 and 9156 of the Michigan Public Health Code to specify the frequency of concussion awareness training for coaches, employees, volunteers, and other adults involved in youth athletic activities, and to modify the definition of "youth athlete" to exclude individuals 17 years of age who are enrolled solely in an institution of higher education. The bill requires organizing entities that sponsor or operate youth athletic activities to ensure compliance with the concussion awareness training and reporting requirements, and outlines the procedures for removing a youth athlete suspected of sustaining a concussion from physical activity and their subsequent return to play.
