Which states are taking the lead on concussions and head injury legislation? Here are the most common PeakMetrics phrases in bill texts by state, taking first the top five in each state, then taking the highest among those. The numbers are counts of bill texts, not total frequency within each bill.
Clearly Mississippi is leading here (hopefully not leading with its head). Of course, number is not the same as significance.
But 317 is a large number of texts mentioning head injury in the past few years.

But some states are clearly lagging, as shown in the next list, especially big football states OH, LA, GA, AR, TX, and OK, that appear to be hiding their collective head (injuries) in the sand. Perhaps the one or two bills in each of these states is comprehensive and significant, and passed or will pass. It would be easy to use #PeakMetrics to discover if that were the case.
