LANSING, MI (WNEM) -
Governor Snyder soon will sign a new bill that will safeguard high school student athletes who suffer concussions.
The bill will require coaches to immediately remove an athlete from practice or a game if a concussion is suspected.
The player could only return when cleared by a doctor.
The measure was approved by the state house last week.
The Detroit Lions and the National Football League are major proponents of the legislation.
