1    Section 10. The School Code is amended by changing Section
222-80 as follows:
 
3    (105 ILCS 5/22-80)
4    Sec. 22-80. Student athletes; concussions and head
5injuries.
6    (a) The General Assembly recognizes all of the following:
7        (1) Concussions are one of the most commonly reported
8    injuries in children and adolescents who participate in
9    sports and recreational activities. The Centers for
10    Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as
11    3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related
12    concussions occur in the United States each year. A
13    concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or
14    body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the
15    skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries or death are
16    significant when a concussion or head injury is not
17    properly evaluated and managed.
18        (2) Concussions are a type of brain injury that can
19    range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain
20    normally works. Concussions can occur in any organized or
21    unorganized sport or recreational activity and can result
22    from a fall or from players colliding with each other, the
23    ground, or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or
24    without loss of consciousness, but the vast majority of
25    concussions occur without loss of consciousness.

 

 

HB5213- 3 -LRB100 16021 SMS 31140 b

1        (3) Continuing to play with a concussion or symptoms of
2    a head injury leaves a young athlete especially vulnerable
3    to greater injury and even death. The General Assembly
4    recognizes that, despite having generally recognized
5    return-to-play standards for concussions and head
6    injuries, some affected youth athletes are prematurely
7    returned to play, resulting in actual or potential physical
8    injury or death to youth athletes in this State.
9        (4) Student athletes who have sustained a concussion
10    may need informal or formal accommodations, modifications
11    of curriculum, and monitoring by medical or academic staff
12    until the student is fully recovered. To that end, all
13    schools are encouraged to establish a return-to-learn
14    protocol that is based on peer-reviewed scientific
15    evidence consistent with Centers for Disease Control and
16    Prevention guidelines and conduct baseline testing for
17    student athletes.
18    (b) In this Section:
19    "Athletic trainer" means a person who, upon the direction
20of his or her team physician or consulting physician, carries
21out the practice of prevention/emergency care or physical
