As the assessment and treatment of concussions and concussion-like symptoms has evolved, many states have enacted laws designed to educate people about concussions, and protect the health and safety of young athletes.

Some state laws are only applicable to school-sponsored athletics, or to activities taking place on school-owned property. Other laws are applicable to all youth sports organizations, whether, or not, they are affiliated with a school district.

BOTC will be publishing the recent legislation actions for New [lacrosse], New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania on this subject in our following posts. Please be sure that your school and local clubs are familiar with the new legislative actions and requirements covering your student-athlete's activities.
