Requires colleges and high schools to create emergency plans for student athlete heat illness.
This bill would require colleges and high schools with athletic programs to develop and carry out emergency plans for heat-related illnesses. These plans would help protect student athletes by outlining how to identify symptoms and provide care. The goal is to prevent serious injuries and deaths from heat illness.
Today, there is no federal law that specifically requires colleges or high schools to have emergency plans for heat-related illnesses. This bill would change that by requiring these schools to create and implement detailed, venue-specific plans within one year after the law takes effect. These plans would include specific steps for identifying symptoms, coordinating care, and using emergency equipment, and would be practiced annually by staff and student athletes.
