N.M. bill would require athletes to learn about brain injuries
A proposal in New Mexico would require that young athletes be educated on the signs and symptoms of brain injuries before they ever step onto a playing field.
A state law already requires that coaches learn about brain injuries, but Sen. Bill Soules would like it expanded to young athletes. The bill would force athletes to take a short course on concussions and how to respond if they suffer from one. Parents would have to sign off to verify that their child took the course once a year.
The proposal is already headed to the full Senate for a vote, and Soules told KRQE that he would expect the governor to sign it if it reached his desk.
