Reauthorization Act of 2008''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The loss of life due to fire has dropped significantly 
        over the last 25 years in the United States. However, the 
        United States still has one of the highest fire death rates in 
        the industrialized world. For 2006, the National Fire 
        Protection Association reported 3,245 civilian fire deaths, 
        17,925 civilian fire injuries, and $11,307,000,000 in direct 
        losses due to fire.
            (2) Every year, over 100 firefighters die in the line of 
        duty. The United States Fire Administration should continue its 
        leadership to help local fire agencies dramatically reduce 
        these fatalities.
            (3) Members of the fire service community should continue 
        to work together to further the promotion of national voluntary 
        consensus standards that increase firefighter safety.
            (4) The United States Fire Administration provides crucial 
        support to the Nation's 30,300 fire departments through 
        training, data collection, fire awareness and education, and 
        other activities for improving fire prevention, control, and 
        suppression technologies.
            (5) The collection of data on fire and other emergency 
        incidents is a vital tool both for policy makers and emergency 
        responders to identify and develop responses to emerging 
        hazards. Improving the United States Fire Administration's data 
        collection capabilities is essential for accurately tracking 
        and responding to the magnitude and nature of the Nation's fire 
        problem.
            (6) The research and development performed by the Federal 
        Government and non-government organizations on fire 
        technologies, techniques, and tools advance the capabilities of 
        the Nation's fire service to prevent and suppress fires.
            (7) The United States Fire Administration is one of the 
        strongest voices representing the Nation's fire service within 
        the Federal Government, and, as such, it should have a 
        prominent place within the Federal Government.

SEC. 3. CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.

    The table of contents in section 2 of the Elementary and Secondary

to section 8574 the following:

  ``subpart 6--state requirements for the prevention and treatment of

``Sec. 8581. Minimum State requirements.
``Sec. 8582. Definitions.''.

SOLUTION: Protecting Student Athletes from Concussions Act of 2017 This bill amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to condition each state's receipt of ESEA funds, beginning in FY2019, on the state's enforcement of specified&nbsp;minimum requirements for the prevention and treatment of concussions. Each local educational agency must develop and implement a standard plan for concussion safety and management that includes: (1) the education of students, parents, and school personnel about concussions; (2) specified supports for each student recovering from a concussion; and (3) best practices designed to ensure the uniformity of safety standards, treatment, and management.  Each public school must post on school grounds and&nbsp;publish on the school website specified information&nbsp;about concussions.  If any public school personnel suspects that a student has sustained a concussion during a school-sponsored activity, the student must be immediately removed from participation in that activity and prohibited from participating in any school-sponsored athletic activities until the student submits a written release from a health care professional. Furthermore, the school personnel must&nbsp;report all available information regarding the injury to a concussion management team that will confirm and report&nbsp;details of the injury&nbsp;to the student's parents. The school's concussion management team shall consult with and make recommendations to relevant school personnel and the student to ensure that the student is receiving the appropriate academic supports. 

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Southern Nevada Public Land 
Management Act of 1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Bureau of Land Management has extensive land 
        ownership in small and large parcels interspersed with or 
        adjacent to private land in the Las Vegas Valley, Nevada, 
        making many of these parcels difficult to manage and more 
        appropriate for disposal.
            (2) The ad hoc disposal of Federal land by the Bureau of 
        Land Management has significantly contributed to growth in the 
        Las Vegas Valley, imposing substantial costs on local 
        government.
            (3) In order to promote responsible and orderly development 
        in the Las Vagas Valley, certain of those Federal lands should 
        be sold by the Federal Government based on recommendations made 
        by local government and the public.
            (4) The value of Federal lands in the Las Vegas Valley is 
        enhanced by local infrastructure improvements which are paid 
        for by local government.
            (5) The Las Vegas metropolitan area is the fastest growing 
        urban area in the United States, which is causing significant 
        impacts upon the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the Red 
        Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, and the Spring 
        Mountains National Recreation Area, which surround the Las 
        Vegas Valley.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide for the orderly 
disposal of certain Federal lands in Clark County, Nevada, and to 
provide for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands in the 
State of Nevada.

    As used in this Act:
            (1) The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of the

        jurisdiction the lands are located may elect to obtain, without 
        consideration, up to 12 percent of the lands for local public

        convey the elected lands to such unit of the local government.

        to be used for local public purposes, such lands shall revert
