SB 82 would require school districts to establish policies and concussion management teams to prevent and manage concussions at schools and school activities. Concussion management teams would be required to establish a return-to-play protocol, based on scientific evidence-based practices, as well as for a student’s return to the classroom. The enactment of SB 82 would have no fiscal effect on state aid to school districts or the Department of Education. The Department notes that school districts would incur administrative and training costs with the enactment of the bill; however, a fiscal effect cannot be estimated. Sincerely, Adam Proffitt Director of the Budget cc: Craig Neuenswander, Department of Education
