Tough concussion rules get OK

A plan aimed at giving high school athletes more information about the dangers of concussions moved onto the Illinois Senate Tuesday after the House approved.

House Republican Leader Tom Cross’ plan would require schools to teach coaches, students and parents about the dangers of concussions and adopt a policy on how to deal with the head injuries.

“We need to create an education process and awareness process at the high school level, Cross said.

The legislation would apply to all high school athletes, but talks about the dangers of head injuries have sprung from the NFL, where top football officials have changed rules in an effort to prevent concussions.
