Passed Senate
Summary
The resolution designates September 19, 2025 as National Concussion Awareness Day and recognizes mild traumatic brain injury, or concussion, as an important health concern. It cites CDC findings that an estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million sports-related concussions happen each year, about 283,000 children visit emergency departments annually for sports- or recreation-related head injuries, and roughly 15 percent of high school students reported a sports- or recreation-related concussion in the past year, and it urges awareness, better diagnosis, return-to-play and return-to-learn protocols, and more research to reduce long-term harm.
