Summary

AB 437 would require the California Interscholastic Federation to include sports‑related injuries, including head injuries, in its periodic report to the Legislature and governor; the Assembly voted to pass the measure.

Assemblymember Lackey presented AB 437 on the Assembly floor, saying the bill would add sports‑related head injuries and other medical problems to the California Interscholastic Federation’s required reporting to the Legislature and governor.

Lackey said the CIF currently submits a report every seven years and that new research about long‑term impacts—particularly head injuries—warrants inclusion of that information in the CIF report. “Because of this, AB 4 37 will require that information on sports related head injuries and other injuries and medical problems be included in the CIF report,” Lackey said on the floor.

After brief remarks and no recorded floor amendments, the clerk opened the roll. The transcript records a single roll call on the measure with “Ayes 59, Noes 0.” The clerk then announced that the measure passes.

The bill sponsor did not describe funding, reporting frequency changes beyond what was stated, or implementation mechanics during the floor presentation recorded in the transcript.
