Chamber Passed·3/3/26

Establishes the Cohen Craddock Student Athlete Safety Act to enhance safety for student athletes.

The Cohen Craddock Student Athlete Safety Act establishes a grant program to fund safety equipment for student athletes, mandates the use of impact-reducing soft-shell helmet covers during football practices, and requires schools to develop a Concussion Education, Prevention, and Response Plan. The act also ensures that using approved helmet covers does not void helmet warranties and establishes a dedicated fund for these purposes.
