: Traumatic Brain Injury Law BlogWashington State Signs New Law Which Aims to Protect Student Athletes
By Bruce Stern
Washington Governor, Chris Gregoire, signed a law last Thursday which prohibits student athletes under the age of 18 who are suspected to have a concussion to return to play without a licensed health care provider's approval. The law makes Washington the strictest state in the country when it comes to regulating high school athlete's participation in school sports after a concussion has been suffered.
The law also requires that every school throughout the state of Washington work with the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association to develop a standard informational program designed to educated coaches, players and parents on the dangers of head injuries. The law is named after Zackery Lystedt, a 16-year-old in Maple Valley, WAshington who suffered a life-threatening brain injury in 2006 after he returned to play football following a concussion.
