2003 Senate Bill 179

Senate Roll Call 123: Passed

To require that school athletic coaches hold a valid certification in sport safety training. The School boards would have to require each new person they employed or assigned as an interscholastic athletic coach to meet this requirement. Coaches would be exempt if they are licensed physicians, physician’s assistants, nurses, or emergency medical technicians, or if they have a physical limitation that makes it impracticable to complete the course.
