For purposes of this Subpart, the term "birthing center" shall not include a hospital or a facility licensed as part of a hospital.  (2) "Department" means the Louisiana Department of Health.  (3) "Hospital" means a facility that is licensed as a hospital in accordance with the provisions of the Hospital Licensing Law, R.S. 40:2100 et seq.

The term includes ill-defined and unknown causes of mortality, sudden infant death syndrome, and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed.  Acts 2016, No. 506, §1.
LA Rev Stat § 40:1086.2 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 40 - Public Health and Safety|§1086.2. Legislative findings; declaration

RS 1086.2 - Legislative findings; declaration  A. With respect to shaken baby syndrome, the legislature finds that this condition occurs when an infant or child is violently shaken as part of a pattern of abuse, or because an adult has momentarily succumbed to the frustration of responding to a crying infant or child. The legislature further finds that the effects of shaken baby syndrome can include brain swelling and damage, subdural hemorrhage, intellectual disability, and death.  B. With respect to sudden infant death syndrome, which is a form of sudden unexpected infant death, the legislature finds all of the following:  (1) Sudden infant death syndrome was the leading cause of postneonatal death in each year of the most recent ten-year period for which complete child mortality data is available (2002 through 2012).  (2) Even after a thorough investigation, it is difficult to distinguish sudden infant death syndrome from other sleep-related infant deaths such as from overlay or suffocation in soft bedding.  (3) Parents and caregivers can take simple steps to reduce the risk of sudden unexpected infant deaths.  C. The legislature hereby declares that prevention of shaken baby syndrome and prevention of sudden unexpected infant death are major public health priorities of this state.  Acts 2016, No. 506, §1.

LA Rev Stat § 40:1089.1 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 40 - Public Health and Safety|§1089.1. Legislative intent

RS 1089.1 - Legislative intent  A. Concussions are one of the most commonly reported injuries in children and adolescents who participate in sports and recreational activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that as many as three million nine hundred thousand sports-related and recreation-related concussions occur in the United States each year. A concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. The risk for long-term, chronic cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms associated with the development of post-concussion syndrome and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, as well as the risk for catastrophic injuries or even death, is significant when a concussion or head injury is not properly recognized, evaluated, and managed.  B. Continuing to play with a concussion or symptoms of head injury leaves the young athlete especially vulnerable to greater injury and even death. The Legislature of Louisiana recognizes that, despite having generally recognized return-to-play standards for concussions and head injury, some affected youth athletes are prematurely returned to play resulting in actual or potential physical injury or death to youth athletes in the state of Louisiana.  C. The Legislature of Louisiana further recognizes that it is in the best interest of the state to create a uniform education, training, and return-to-play protocol to be followed throughout the state.

RS 1089.2 - Definitions  As used in this Subpart:  (1) "Healthcare provider" means a physician as defined in R.S. 37:1262, a licensed nurse practitioner, a licensed physician assistant, or a licensed psychologist, which person has received training in neuropsychology or concussion evaluation and management. (2) "Public recreation facility" means a recreation facility owned or leased by the state of Louisiana or a political subdivision thereof.  (3) "Youth athletic activity" means an organized athletic activity where the majority of the participants are seven years of age or older and under nineteen years of age, and are engaging in an organized athletic game or competition against another team, club, or entity or in practice or preparation for an organized game or competition against another team, club, or entity. "Youth athletic activity" shall not include college or university activities or an activity which is entered into for instructional purposes only, an athletic activity that is incidental to a nonathletic program, or a lesson.  Acts 2011, No. 314, §1, eff. June 28, 2011; Redesignated from R.S. 40:1299.182 by HCR 84 of 2015 R.S; Acts 2018, No. 206, §4.

RS 1089.4 - Removal from and return to play  A. A coach who is required to complete concussion recognition education pursuant to this Subpart shall immediately remove any youth athlete from a game, competition, or practice if any of the following occurs:  (1) The youth athlete reports any defined sign or symptom of a concussion and is reasonably suspected of having sustained a concussion.  (2) The coach, athletic trainer, or official determines that the youth athlete exhibits any defined sign or symptom of a concussion and he reasonably suspects that the youth athlete has sustained a concussion.  (3) The coach or official is notified that the youth athlete has reported or exhibited any defined sign or symptom of a concussion and is reasonably suspected of sustaining a concussion by any of the following persons:  (a) A licensed, registered, or certified medical healthcare provider operating within his scope of practice. The medical healthcare provider performing an evaluation, for the purposes of this Subsection, upon a youth athlete suspected of sustaining a concussion or brain injury may be a volunteer.  (b) Any other licensed, registered, or certified individual whose scope of practice includes the recognition of concussion symptoms. The individual performing an evaluation, for the purposes of this Subsection, upon a youth athlete suspected of sustaining a concussion or brain injury may be a volunteer.  B. If a youth athlete is removed from play pursuant to this Section and the signs and symptoms cannot be readily explained by a condition other than concussion, the coach shall notify the athlete's parent or legal guardian and shall not permit the youth athlete to return to play or participate in any supervised team activities involving physical exertion, including games, competitions, or practices, until the youth athlete is evaluated by a healthcare provider and receives written clearance from the healthcare provider for a full or graduated return to play.  C. After a youth athlete who has sustained a concussion or head injury has been evaluated and received clearance for a graduated return to play from a healthcare provider, an organization or association of which a school or school district is a member, a private or public school, a private club, a public recreation facility, or an athletic league may allow a licensed athletic trainer with specific knowledge of the athlete's condition to manage the athlete's graduated return to play.  D. This Section does not create any liability for, or create a cause of action against, a school, its officers, or its employees, an organization or association of which a school or school district is a member, a private or public school, a private club, a public recreation facility, or an athletic league when such person or entity has complied with the provisions of this Subpart.
