Interscholastic athletics: California Interscholastic Federation: sports-related injuries.

Abstract

Existing law describes the California Interscholastic Federation as a voluntary organization that consists of school and school-related personnel with responsibility for administering interscholastic athletic activities in secondary schools, and sets forth the Legislature's intent regarding the California Interscholastic Federation's implementation of certain policies. Existing law requires the California Interscholastic Federation, on or before January 1, 2023, and on or before January 1 every 7 years thereafter, to report to the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature and the Governor on its evaluation and accountability activities undertaken, including, among other things, the status of the health and safety of pupils, coaches, officials, and spectators, including racial discrimination, harassment, or hazing. This bill would add sports-related head injuries, including concussions, and other sports-related injuries and medical problems, requiring medical clearance to resume full athletic participation, including injuries sustained during competitions, practices, and training camps, as reportable information regarding the status of the health and safety of pupils, coaches, officials, and spectators.
