LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1630, Speier. Steroids and performance-enhancing dietary
supplements.
Existing law sets forth the rights and responsibilities of pupils
in public schools. Existing law further requires certain school
employees to comply with various educational requirements.
This bill would require the State Department of Health Services,
in consultation with the California Interscholastic Federation, to
develop a list of performance-enhancing dietary supplements, as
defined, on or before January 1, 2006, with certain requirements.
The bill would require the California Interscholastic Federation to
amend its constitution and bylaws to require that school districts
prohibit a pupil from participating in high school sports on and
after July 1, 2006, unless that pupil agrees not to use any of the
prohibited substances identified by the department and the parent or
guardian of that pupil signs a notification form regarding those
restrictions.
The bill would, commencing July 1, 2006, prohibit schools from
accepting sponsorships from manufacturers of those supplements and
would prohibit certain school employees from selling, distributing,
or promoting those supplements.
The bill would require each high school sports coach, as defined,
to complete a coaching education program developed by his or her
school district or by the California Interscholastic Federation that
meets specified training requirements. The bill would make that
requirement operative on December 31, 2007.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 35179.1 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
35179.1. (a) This section shall be known and may be cited as the
1998 California High School Coaching Education and Training Program.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(1) The exploding demand in girls athletics, and an increase in
the number of pupils participating in both boys and girls athletics,
are causing an increase in the number of coaches needed statewide.
(2) Well-trained coaches are vital to the success of the
experience of a pupil in sports and interscholastic athletic
activities.
(3) Improvement in coaching is a primary need identified by
hundreds of principals, superintendents, and school board members who
participated in the development of a strategic plan for the
California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) in 1993 and 1994.
(4) There are many concerns about safety, training, organization,
philosophy, communications, and general management in coaching that
need to be addressed.
(5) It is a conservative estimate that at least 25,000 coaches
annually need training and an orientation just to meet current
coaching regulations contained in Title 5 of the California Code of
Regulations, including basic safety and CPR requirements.
(6) School districts, in conjunction with the California
Interscholastic Federation, have taken the initial first steps toward
building a statewide coaching education program by assembling a
faculty of statewide trainers composed of school district
administrators, coaches, and athletic directors using a national
program being used in several states.
(c) It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature to establish a
California High School Coaching Education and Training Program. It
is the intent of the Legislature that the program be administered by
local school districts and emphasize the following components:
(1) Development of coaching philosophies consistent with school,
school district, and school board goals.
(2) Sport psychology: emphasizing communication, reinforcement of
the efforts of young people, effective delivery of coaching
regarding technique, and motivation of the pupil athlete.
(3) Sport pedagogy: how young athletes learn, and how to teach
sport skills.
(4) Sport physiology: principles of training, fitness for sport,
development of a training program, nutrition for athletes, and the
harmful effects associated with the use of steroids and
performance-enhancing dietary supplements by adolescents.
(5) Sport management: team management, risk management, and
working within the context of an entire school program.
(6) Training: certification in CPR and first aid.
(7) Knowledge of, and adherence to, statewide rules and
regulations, as well as school regulations including, but not
necessarily limited to, eligibility, gender equity and
discrimination.
(8) Sound planning and goal setting.
(d) This section does not endorse a particular coaching education
or training program.
SEC. 2. Article 6.5 (commencing with Section 49030) is added to
Chapter 6 of Part 27 of the Education Code, to read:

Supplements
49030. (a) For purposes of this article, "performance-enhancing
dietary supplement" means a dietary supplement designed or marketed

development above levels that would be anticipated under normal
conditions with appropriate nourishment.

supplement" does not include a dietary supplement in which the only

authorized by prior sanction, or those classified as generally
recognized as safe for use in foods as defined in the federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. Sec. 301 et seq.), and
accompanying federal regulations, except for caffeine in excess of
200 milligrams per serving, if these ingredients are used in a
dietary supplement at the levels, and for the purposes, for which
they may be used in foods.
49031. (a) A teacher, athletic director, sports coach, or other
school official or employee may not sell, distribute, or promote a
performance-enhancing dietary supplement.

49032. (a) The State Department of Health Services, in
consultation with the California Interscholastic Federation, shall
develop a list of performance-enhancing dietary supplements for the
purposes of this article. The list shall be developed on or before
January 1, 2006, and may be amended by the State Department of Health
Services at any time. The State Department of Health Services shall
submit this list to the State Department of Education on or before
January 1, 2006. Upon receipt of this list, the State Department of
Education shall notify each school district that contains grades 9 to
12, inclusive, that this list has been completed and shall post the
list on its Web site. Any amendments to this list shall be submitted
to the State Department of Education no later than December 31 of
the year in which the amendments are made. Upon receipt of
amendments to this list, the State Department of Education shall
annually notify each school district that contains grades 9 to 12,
inclusive, that this list has been amended and shall post the amended
list on its Web site.
(b) In developing this list, the State Department of Health
Services shall refer to existing lists of prohibited substances used
by collegiate, professional, or Olympic sports organizations and

sports.
49033. (a) Effective December 31, 2007, each high school sports
coach shall have completed a coaching education program developed by
his or her school district or the California Interscholastic
Federation that meets the guidelines set forth in Section 35179.1.
(b) Upon completion of the program, a high school sports coach
shall be deemed to have completed the education requirement for the
remainder of his or her time coaching at the high school level in any
school district in the state.
(c) Each high school sports coach shall be responsible for the
costs of taking the course.
(d) The training requirements of this section shall count toward
the continuing education required for the renewal of the teaching
credential of a coach who is also a certificated employee.
(e) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), if the existing coach is
unavailable to lead his or her team, a substitute coach who does not
meet the requirements of subdivision (a) may be used for no longer
than one season of interscholastic competition.
(f) For the purposes of this section, "high school sports coach"
means an employee or a volunteer who is authorized by a high school
to be responsible for leading a school sports team of pupil athletes.
49035. The California Interscholastic Federation shall amend its
constitution and bylaws to require, as a condition of participation
in interscholastic sports, that school districts effective July 1,
2006, upon the notification provided pursuant to subdivision (a) of
Section 49032, prohibit a pupil from participating in interscholastic
high school sports, unless that pupil agrees not to use any of the
supplements identified by the State Department of Health Services
pursuant to Section 49032 and the parent and guardian of that pupil
signs a notification form regarding those restrictions.
