In GA we've been told that the player must leave. If they "sit a tick" and are allowed back in (assuming they are not still displaying signs of a concussion) it's assumed they've been checked out by an appropriate health care
professional who has conveyed to the coach it's ok for the player to return. The responsibility for this is on the coach, not us. We don't ask for a note, who evaluated them, or anything. The thought is that if they are checking in the coach has taken care of that.
Don't have any idea on how defendable that position is, or if it will stand up in a potential lawsuit, but there it is. I was actually glad they clarified where/when our responsibilities begin and end because when we first heard of the rule in summer camp we were concerned about many of the things being discussed (i.e., having to be medically trained in some fashion, getting a note, etc.).
