Subject: | Strengthening the Safety in Youth Sports Act |
In the near future, I intend to introduce legislation that would implement certain recommendations contained in the recent Legislative Budget and Finance Committee report, “Implementation of the PA Safety in Youth Sports Act.” Enacted in 2011, the Safety in Youth Sports Act (SYSA) provides guidelines for student athletes who have been suspected of sustaining a brain injury. There are three main components to these guidelines:
My legislation will aim to implement some of these recommendations as a follow-up to the progress made in 2011 and ensure that Pennsylvania remains a leader in protecting our kids. |
