Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution expresses the Senate's support for designating September 18, 2026, as "National Concussion Awareness Day" to draw attention to concussions, or mild traumatic brain injuries, as a significant public health issue. It cites data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing millions of sports-related concussions occur annually, with children and teens particularly affected through emergency department visits for sports- and recreation-related brain injuries. The resolution recognizes organizations working to raise awareness about concussions and encourages federal, state, and local policymakers to collaborate on improving public understanding of proper concussion diagnosis and management. It also calls for continued research and prevention efforts to reduce the most serious long-term effects of brain injuries. As a simple resolution, it does not create new laws, allocate funding, or impose binding requirements, but instead serves as a symbolic statement of Senate priorities regarding brain injury awareness.
