Football helmet bill wins Senate approval

The Texas Senate has approved a measure requiring high schools to keep older football helmets in good condition to help prevent head injuries to players.
Helmets 10 years or older would have to be reconditioned every two years, and helmets would have to be taken out of use if they are 16 years old.
