Officials in New Jersey have proposed new rules regarding the treatment and prevention of concussions for high school athletes in the state. The rules would allow for increased awareness training for teachers, coaches, and parents, as well as requirements for doctor’s approval before allowing a player to return to play following a concussion. The proposed rules are expected to be approved in April, in time for the state’s “Brain Injury Awareness Month”.
