This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

(1) Existing law requires a school district, charter school, or private school, if it offers an athletic program, to immediately remove an athlete from an athletic activity for the remainder of the day if the athlete is suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury, and prohibits the athlete from returning to the athletic activity until the athlete is evaluated by a licensed health care provider, trained in the management of concussions and acting within the scope of his or her practice, and the athlete receives written clearance from the licensed health care provider to return to the athletic activity. Existing law also requires, on a yearly basis, a concussion and head injury information sheet to be signed and returned by the athlete and athlete's parent or guardian before the athlete initiates practice or competition. This bill would establish the Neurocognitive Testing Pilot Grant Program to provide grant funding to Title I schools for the purposes of neurocognitive testing. The bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to establish an application process for school districts to apply on behalf of Title I schools interested in participating in the pilot program. The bill would require grants under the pilot program to be apportioned to a total of 3 school districts, comprising one school district in each of the following regions of the state: southern, central, and northern. A participating school district would be required to commit to participating in the pilot program for 4 school years in order to track pupils tested in grade 9 through completion of high school. The bill would require that grant funds would be used for baseline and postinjury neurocognitive testing, as defined, for pupils attending a Title I school serving any of grades 9 to 12, inclusive, who participate in interscholastic athletics in any of 12 designated sports. The bill would require this baseline and postinjury neurocognitive testing to take place at the beginning of an athletic season before any competitions have taken place and after any head injury, and would require that baseline neurocognitive testing be repeated at intervals not exceeding 24 months for as long as the athlete is enrolled at the school and participating in one or more of the 12 sports listed in the bill. The bill would require the baseline and postinjury neurocognitive testing conducted pursuant to the bill to be administered by individuals, including, but not necessarily limited to, employees of a participating school district, who have been trained to administer these tests. The bill would also provide that grant funds could be used for training of personnel and consultation with experts, as specified. The bill would further provide that, under the pilot program, the parent or guardian of each athlete participating in any of the 12 interscholastic sports listed in the bill would be notified, in writing, that the results of baseline and postinjury neurocognitive testing conducted on his or her child are available to the child's parent or guardian, or could be shared with the athlete's physician, upon request. The bill would also provide that grant funds could be used for reporting specified data relating to the baseline neurocognitive testing to the appropriate county office of education. The bill would require the State Department of Education to submit a report containing specified information to the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature on or before December 31, 2021. These provisions would be contingent upon the appropriation of funds for their purposes in the annual Budget Act or another statute. These provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2022. (2) Existing law provides that, if a licensed health care provider determines that an athlete sustained a concussion or a head injury while engaging in an athletic activity, the athlete is required to complete a graduated return-to-play protocol of no less than 7 days in duration under the supervision of a licensed health care provider. This bill would require a school district, charter school, or private school that offers an interscholastic athletic program to collect and maintain data on traumatic brain injuries and concussions sustained by any of its pupils during an interscholastic athletic activity. The bill would require that this data be reported periodically to the appropriate county office of education, and would require the county office of education to compile and retain the data for summary and analysis as it deems necessary. By imposing new duties on county offices of education, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
