Bill > HB9

This bill, known as the Coach Safety Act, requires athletics personnel, including athletic directors and coaches, involved in high-risk youth athletic activities to complete an annual injury mitigation course approved by the Department of Public Health. The course covers topics such as heat and weather-related injuries, physical conditioning, and heart abnormalities leading to sudden cardiac death. The bill exempts licensed and certified athletic trainers, doctors, nurses, first responders, and healthcare professionals with acute traumatic life support training from the course requirement. The bill also specifies that it does not impose additional liability on political subdivisions of the state.
