Delaware

Governor Markell signed SB111 into law on August 31, 2011. It became effective for the 2012-2013 school year. This law can be found at section 303, Title 14, Chapter 3, of the Delaware Code, under the title dealing with Education and the chapter dealing with the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association. (Del. Code Ann. tit. 14, § 303).

In summary, the law requires member schools to follow certain rules and regulations regarding concussions, which include: requiring parents/guardians to sign information sheets about concussions annually; providing coaches with concussion training; removing students from play if suspected of sustaining a concussion; and prohibiting return to play until a complete medical clearance is received. This application of the Act is currently limited to member schools of the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA).
