Calif. Senate Advances Bill To Limit Tackling in Football Practices To Reduce Concussion Risk
On Thursday, the California Senate advanced a bill (AB 2127) that would limit the number of full-contact football practices for middle and high school teams in an effort to reduce the risk of concussions. The measure also would call for medical professionals to examine students who experienced head injuries before they are allowed to return to the game.
