Below
are the details of Minnesota's New Concussion Law:
The Minnesota Legislature's new
"Concussion Law" requires online training for all coaches and
officials and concussion education for all parents and athletes
starting this fall.
The Minnesota
Legislature recently passed a "Concussion Law" which requires
any municipality, business, school district or nonprofit
organization that organizes a youth athletic activity and
charges a fee to follow the statute's requirements, including
implementing concussion training and education to improve player
safety and establish safe return-to-play policies for athletes
who sustain a concussion.
The law
mandates that all coaches and
officials receive concussion training and
education by September 1, 2011, and then at three-year intervals
thereafter. Coaches must remove an athlete from activity if they
exhibit signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent with a
concussion and/or are suspected of sustaining a concussion. The
law also requires a doctor's signature to return to play if an
athlete is removed due to a concussion or is showing signs or
symptoms of a concussion.
The concussion
education we recommend for coaches and officials is the online
video training session developed by the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) and the National Federation of State High Schools.
CLICK HERE for the Training. This course requires
registration, but it is free. Over 200,000 coaches and officials
have already successfully completed this course.
The training
process involves watching a video and then successfully
completing a quiz. The entire training module can be completed
in a little over a half an hour and then participants can print
out a Certificate of Completion. Users should use a screen
capture to save the certificate on their desktop or print and
scan the certificate to create a digital file.
Parents and
athletes do not have to complete the training but should access
and review the concussion awareness and education information
available on the CDC's website by clicking
here.
