The Indiana House of Representatives today voted unanimously in favor of State Rep. Ron Bacon’s (R-Chandler) legislation to help student athletes and coaches understand how to prevent and respond to heat exhaustion.
Bacon said heat exhaustion causing cardiac arrest is the greatest killer of student athletes, and this proposal would ensure that coaches of students in grades 5-12 are trained to recognize the signs of heat exhaustion.
House Bill 1024 can now be heard by the Senate. Visit www.iga.in.gov to learn more about this legislation.
