Protecting Student Athletes from Concussions Act of 2025

This bill would require each state that gets federal K-12 education funds to pass laws or rules on student concussions within five full fiscal years. Each school district would have to create a concussion safety plan that trains staff, informs students and parents, and supports students recovering from a concussion. A student suspected of having a concussion would have to be removed from school sports right away and could not return until a health care professional gives written permission. Public schools would have to post concussion information on school grounds and their websites. States that do not comply would lose 5 percent of certain federal education funds in the first year and 10 percent in later years.
