SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``San Francisco Bay
National Wildlife Refuge Complex Establishment Act''.
    (b) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 1974, the first congressionally-mandated national
        wildlife refuge in the country was established in San Francisco
        Bay, renamed in 1995 as the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay
        National Wildlife Refuge. It was the Nation's first urban
        refuge and remains the largest national wildlife refuge in a
        metropolitan area. The Service manages it as part of a Complex
        with the Antioch Dunes, Ellicott Slough, Farallon, Marin
        Islands, Salinas River, and San Pablo Bay National Wildlife
        Refuges, comprising more than 46,000 acres. The Complex's urban
        setting and high visitorship provide unique challenges and
        opportunities to advance the mission of the national wildlife
        refuge system, including engagement, education, and involvement
        of new constituencies.
            (2) The Complex represents a unique national asset within
        the National Wildlife Refuge System and should be a focal point
        for cutting edge research, science, and practice in habitat
        management and restoration, including projects in the areas
        of--
                    (A) implementation of recovery plans for endangered
                and threatened wildlife species, and habitat
                conservation plans for tidal marsh and other priority
                ecosystems;
                    (B) integrated ecosystem management and adaptive
                approaches to planning and implementation of landscape-
                scale ecosystem restoration;
                    (C) carbon sequestration and natural shoreline
                protection benefits of tidal marsh restoration in the
                face of rising sea levels;
                    (D) monitoring the health of key species and the
                value of habitat;
                    (E) removal and control of harmful nonnative
                species;
                    (F) public education and community stewardship
                opportunities in furtherance of the mission of the
                National Wildlife Refuge System;
                    (G) public-private partnerships and collaborative
                conservation; and
                    (H) establishing and documenting best practices and
                disseminating and replicating them throughout the
                National Wildlife Refuge System.

SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT.

    (a) In General; Purposes.--For the purposes of preservation,
conservation, restoration, and enhancement of highly significant
wildlife habitat in the ecosystem known generally as San Francisco Bay
in the State of California, protection of migratory waterfowl and other
wildlife, including species known to be threatened or endangered with
extinction, providing opportunities for wildlife-oriented recreation
and nature study within the open space so preserved, the Secretary
shall establish, in accordance with this Act, an urban ecosystem
wildlife refuge complex to be known as the San Francisco Bay National
Wildlife Refuge Complex.
    (b) Objectives.--In addition to the purposes of the Refuge Complex
specified in subsection (a), the Refuge Complex shall be managed in
accordance with all laws, regulations, executive orders, and
comprehensive conservation plans that applied before the date of the
enactment of this Act to the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge
Complex and for the following objectives:
            (1) To strengthen and complement existing resource
        management, conservation, restoration, and education programs
        and activities at the Refuge Complex in a manner consistent
        with the purposes set forth in subsection (a).
            (2) To conserve, enhance, and restore the native aquatic
        and terrestrial communities and their characteristics found
        within the Refuge Complex and the San Francisco Bay ecosystem
        in partnership with governmental, nongovernmental, and private
        organizations and private individuals dedicated to fish and
        wildlife habitat preservation, protection, recovery,
        restoration, or enhancement.
            (3) To facilitate partnerships among the Service, the State
        of California, regional and local governments, Indian tribes,
        communities, conservation organizations and other non-Federal
        entities to promote community stewardship and to enhance public
        awareness and appreciation among urban and metropolitan
        residents within the greater San Francisco Bay ecosystem of the
        natural resources of the Refuge Complex and the importance of
        maintaining fish and wildlife habitat to compensate for the
        significant scale of human development and land conversion that
        has occurred in this region of northern California.
            (4) To advance the collective goals, priorities, and
        strategies established in the covered report in order to
        protect, preserve, conserve, manage, restore, recover, or
        enhance fish and wildlife habitat in the San Francisco Bay
        ecosystem.
            (5) To provide for the systematic monitoring of key species
        and environmental health in general, to facilitate programs to
        control or eradicate harmful, non-native invasive species, to
        advance adaptive approaches to planning, carbon sequestration,
        and natural shoreline protection, and to implement landscape-
        level strategies for ecosystem recovery, restoration and

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Concussion Awareness and Education
Act of 2015''.

SEC. 2. TABLE OF CONTENTS.

    The table of contents of this Act is as follows:

Sec. 1. Short title.
Sec. 2. Table of contents.
Sec. 3. Findings; purposes.
Sec. 4. Surveillance of sports-related concussions.
Sec. 5. Research.
Sec. 6. Dissemination of information.
Sec. 7. Concussion Research Commission.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) There is currently no comprehensive system for
        acquiring accurate data on the incidence of sports- and
        recreation-related concussions across youth age groups and
        sports.
            (2) Overall, according to a report entitled ``Sports-
        Related Concussions in Youth: Improving the Science, Changing
        the Culture'', issued by the National Academies in 2013, each
        year in the United States, there are approximately 1.6 to 3.8
        million sports- and recreation-related traumatic brain
        injuries, including concussions and other head injuries. These
        figures are based on conservative estimates.
            (3) Between 2001 and 2009, the reported number of our youth
        ages 21 and under treated in an emergency department for
        concussion and other non-fatal sports and recreation-related
        traumatic brain injuries increased from 150,000 to 250,000.
            (4) Over the same time period between 2001 and 2009, the
        rate of emergency room visits for concussive injuries increased
        by 57 percent.
            (5) Yet, according to the National Academies there
        currently is--
                    (A) a lack of data to accurately estimate the
                incidence of sports-related concussions across a
                variety of sports and for youth across the pediatric
                age spectrum; and
                    (B) no comprehensive system for acquiring accurate
                data on the incidence of sports- and recreation-related
                concussions across all youth age groups and sports.
            (6) Currently, there are significant information gaps in
        the proper protocol for diagnosis and treatment of sports-
        related concussions and more research desperately is needed.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to increase awareness and knowledge about concussions
        through development of, implementation of, and evaluation of
        the effectiveness of, large-scale collaborative efforts and
        research by entities including, but not limited to, national
        sports associations, State high school associations, trainers'
        associations, appropriate Federal entities, and other
        stakeholders such as parents, coaches, and students; and
            (2) to change the culture (including social norms,
        attitudes, and behaviors) surrounding concussions among
        elementary school youth and their parents, coaches, sports
        officials, educators, trainers, and health care professionals,
        taking into account demographic variations across population
        groups, where appropriate.
