I think codifying this into law is a bad idea. As Nevada pointed out, the rule is already in place, so the law will only do two things.
1. Keep the requirements in place in case the NFHS ever removes the requirement. But they'll never remove this requirement, so that's not necessary.
2. Open officials up to criminal and/or civil liability if they don't recognize concussion symptoms. Even this is redundant, but making it a law would perhaps give such lawsuits and/or prosecutions a little extra force. I don't see this as a good thing. Great intentions gone wrong, again.
