To promote minimum State requirements for the prevention and treatment of concussions caused by participation in school sports, and for other purposes.

H.R. 7590 would set federal standards requiring states to implement policies for concussion prevention and treatment in school athletic programs. The bill, introduced by Representative Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA), aims to protect student athletes by establishing baseline requirements that states would need to meet regarding concussion management in school sports. If enacted, the legislation would likely require schools to adopt protocols for identifying, treating, and managing concussions, potentially including provisions for baseline testing, sideline assessments, and return-to-play guidelines. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been referred to committee for consideration, and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
