What’s in it

This bill relates to concussion and brain injury training for coaches. Current law requires the department of health and human services, the Iowa high school athletic association, and the Iowa girls high school athletic union to work together to develop training materials and courses regarding concussions and brain injuries, and requires coaches and contest officials to complete the training at least every two years. The bill modifies this provision to provide that coaches shall complete the training every two years.
