17  and insert:  attest to that portion of the examination. The

18  preparticipation physical evaluation form shall include a

19  statement advising students to complete a comprehensive

20  cardiovascular assessment which may include, but not be

21  limited to, an electrocardiogram. Practitioners administering

22  medical evaluations pursuant to this subsection must know the

23  minimum standards established by the organization and certify

24  that the student meets the standards. If the practitioner

25  determines that there are any abnormal findings in the

26  cardiovascular system, the student may not participate unless

27  a subsequent EKG or other cardiovascular assessment indicates

28  that the abnormality will not place the student at risk during

29  such participation. Results of such medical evaluation must be

30  provided to the school. No student shall be eligible to

31  participate in any interscholastic athletic competition or

                                  1

    Amendment No. ___ (for drafter's use only)





  1  engage in any practice, tryout, workout, or other physical

  2  activity associated with the student's candidacy for an

  3  interscholastic athletic team until the results of the medical

  4  evaluation verifying that the student has satisfactorily

  5  passed the evaluation have been received and approved by the

  6  school.

  7         (d)  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (c), a

  8  student may participate in interscholastic athletic

  9  competition or be a candidate for an interscholastic athletic

10  team if the parent of the student objects in writing to the

11  student undergoing a medical evaluation because such

12  evaluation is contrary to his or her religious tenets or

13  practices. A student who participates without the required

14  medical evaluation pursuant to this paragraph shall not have a

15  cause of action against any person or entity for any injury or

16  other damages suffered by such student arising out of the

17  student's participation, unless the injury or damages are

18  caused by gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional

19  misconduct.
