House Bill 961 amends the Education Code to authorize a school nurse employed by a public school district or open‑enrollment charter school to be included on the school nurse's request as a member of the district or school concussion oversight team. The bill subjects a school nurse who serves on such a team to the applicable training requirements for team members. The bill includes a school nurse as a person whose belief that a student might have sustained a concussion during an athletics practice or competition triggers the student's immediate removal from play in the event.
