In this article, we conduct a review of introduced and enacted youth concussion legislation in Canada and present a conceptual framework and recommendations for future youth sport concussion laws. We conducted online searches of federal, provincial, and territorial legislatures to identify youth concussion bills that were introduced or successfully enacted into law. Internet searches were carried out from July 26 and 27, 2016. Online searches identified six youth concussion bills that were introduced in provincial legislatures, including two in Ontario and Nova Scotia and one each in British Columbia and Quebec. One of these bills (Ontario Bill 149, Rowan's Law Advisory Committee Act, 2016) was enacted into provincial law; it is not actual concussion legislation, but rather a framework for possible enactment of legislation. Two bills have been introduced in federal parliament but neither bill has been enacted into law. At present, there is no provincial or federal concussion legislation that directly legislates concussion education, prevention, management, or policy in youth sports in Canada. The conceptual framework and recommendations presented here should be used to guide the design and implementation of future youth sport concussion laws in Canada.
在本文中，我们对加拿大已出台和颁布的青少年脑震荡立法进行了综述，并提出了一个概念框架以及对未来青少年体育脑震荡法律的建议。我们对联邦、省和地区立法机构进行了在线搜索，以确定已提出或成功颁布为法律的青少年脑震荡法案。网络搜索于2016年7月26日和27日进行。在线搜索发现了在省级立法机构提出的六项青少年脑震荡法案，其中安大略省和新斯科舍省各两项，不列颠哥伦比亚省和魁北克省各一项。这些法案中的一项（安大略省第149号法案，《罗文法律咨询委员会法案》，2016年）已颁布为省级法律；它并非实际的脑震荡立法，而是立法可能颁布的一个框架。联邦议会已提出两项法案，但均未颁布为法律。目前，加拿大没有省级或联邦脑震荡立法直接对青少年体育中的脑震荡教育、预防、管理或政策进行立法。此处提出的概念框架和建议应用于指导加拿大未来青少年体育脑震荡法律的设计和实施。
