The law clearly states that it "does not create any additional liability". In other words, it is intended as additional protection for the youth athlete, not additional responsibility for the officials. If an official recognizes symptoms of concussion, he can act. If he does not (or merely chooses not to act) there is no additional liability than would have otherwise been there under existing law. The law does mandate concussion training for all coaches and officials, and that the training be repeated periodically (every three years, I think...).

The MN law applies to "any municipality, business, or nonprofit organization that organizes a youth athletic activity for which an activity fee is charged" as well as to schools.
