The School Sports Safety Study Act (H.R. 4371) would direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct a comprehensive study on the causes of student-athlete fatalities and catastrophic injuries at the high school and collegiate levels. Based on these findings, the CDC would be required to develop and publish specific recommendations for schools and athletic programs to improve safety protocols and prevent future tragedies. For students and their families, this bill aims to create a safer environment for organized sports by establishing national, evidence-based guidelines for injury prevention and emergency response.
