## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- More concussion education providers for student athletes: benefit, low. Arkansas law now recognizes chiropractors or chiropractic physicians as healthcare providers for student-athlete concussion education. They join the professionals already recognized under these rules. The change only expands the provider definition; it does not change funding or other requirements.
