Requires colleges to prevent heat-related deaths among student athletes through safety protocols.
The problem
Student athletes have died from heat illness during training and competition. Better safety rules and medical care could prevent these tragic deaths.
The proposal
The bill would require colleges to establish heat illness prevention policies, medical protocols, and training for coaches and athletic staff.
The impact
College athletes, coaches, and athletic programs would need to follow new safety requirements to reduce heat-related injuries and deaths.
Heat illness is preventable. Clear safety rules and medical protocols could stop athletes from dying during practice or games. This addresses a serious public health gap.
Different colleges have different rules. National standards ensure all student athletes get the same level of protection no matter where they attend school.
Some athletes face higher heat risk due to genetics, medications, or medical conditions. Better protocols help identify and protect these students.
Colleges following clear federal guidelines have legal protection. This may lower lawsuits and insurance costs for institutions.
Colleges must hire staff, buy equipment, and train coaches. Small schools with tight budgets may struggle to afford these new requirements.
Heat safety rules may require modified schedules or reduced outdoor training. This could affect athletic performance and team preparation.
Some argue colleges should handle athlete safety on their own. Federal rules reduce local control over athletic programs.
The bill summary lacks details on penalties for non-compliance. Vague rules may make it hard to hold colleges accountable.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
