The Lystedt Law Turns 10!
The Lystedt Law aimed to mitigate the consequences of concussions in youth sports through education, information and medical intervention. It was signed into law on May 14, 2009, by Washington Governor Christine Gregoire. Similar laws were soon adopted in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Since these laws were enacted, studies have shown that the reporting of concussions has increased and injury recurrence has decreased.
