The current Concussion Management and Awareness Act of 2011 does not apply to nonpublic schools or youth travel teams. The NYS Assembly Bill A02564 will add these groups to the bill to ensure students are at less of a risk to sustain another concussion.

Every year about 4,000 NYS children receive treatment at hospitals for sports related concussions. However some concussions go undiagnosed due to lack of education on symptoms of a concussion. NYSA02564 plans to increase education of school medical professionals yearly.
