(Springfield) With growing attention on the dangers of concussions for athletes, former Chicago Bears offensive lineman and 1985 Super Bowl champion Kurt Becker plans to testify in favor of House Bill 200, a bill aimed to require more concussion education for parents, coaches and student athletes in Illinois.
On Wednesday morning, Becker will join the Athletic Director from Oswego High School, Steve McInerney and the Illinois High School Association’s Marty Hickman to testify in favor of Rep. Tom Cross’ (R-Oswego) bill.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Committee is scheduled to start at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 23 in room 114 at the capitol in Springfield.
