N2  - Beginning in 2009 with the passage of the Zackery Lystedt law in the state of Washington, all 50 states have passed concussion laws that implement a mandatory framework of care for high school and youth athletes. The structure of these laws generally shares the three primary components of the Lystedt law: (1) preseason concussion education; (2) mandatory removal from play with suspected concussion; and (3) clearance from a healthcare professional prior to return to play. These same three policy components are also found at the collegiate and professional levels of sport, either through established policy or labor contracts. This chapter explores concussion-specific legal and policy developments that currently inform concussion management practices across multiple levels of the US athletic system.<br><br>Copyright © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
