Idaho Moves Step Closer to New Sports Concussion Law

By later this week, Idaho could be the third state with a tougher concussion law that protects high school athletes.

Monday, the Idaho House Senate Affairs Committee unanimously approved a bill called "Kort's Law", named after Teton High School football start Kort Breckenridge, who almost died after a series of concussions in 2005.

The bill requires high school coaches to get medical clearance before allowing athletes to play after suffering a head injury.

Washington and Oregon already have similar laws on the books, and more states are expected to follow suit.
