Permitting a licensed chiropractor to evaluate and provide written clearance to a school athlete who has been removed from a sport competition or practice session pursuant to the school sports head injury prevention act.

Summary

The bill amends Kansas' School Sports Head Injury Prevention Act to add chiropractors who have completed approved concussion training as qualified health‑care providers. Those chiropractors can evaluate an athlete removed for a suspected concussion and issue a written clearance to resume play. It also shields non‑school‑employee providers from civil liability except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.
