Why it Matters
Jean Rickerson Founder, editor SportsConcussions.org
“We join the NFL and the NCAA in calling for concussion legislation in all remaining states. We've seen remarkable improvement in safety on the field and standards of care after laws are passed.

The laws make a tremendous difference."
