(A) Except as provided in division (D) of this section, the state board of education shall adopt rules establishing standards and requirements for obtaining a pupil-activity program permit for any individual who does not hold a valid educator license, certificate, or permit issued by the state board under section 3319.22, 3319.26, or 3319.27 of the Revised Code. The permit issued under this section shall be valid for coaching, supervising, or directing a pupil-activity program under section 3313.53 of the Revised Code. Subject to the provisions of section 3319.31 of the Revised Code, a permit issued under this division shall be valid for three years and shall be renewable.

(B) The state board shall adopt rules applicable to individuals who hold valid educator licenses, certificates, or permits issued by the state board under section 3319.22, 3319.26, or 3319.27 of the Revised Code setting forth standards to assure any such individual's competence to direct, supervise, or coach a pupil-activity program described in section 3313.53 of the Revised Code. The rules adopted under this division shall not be more stringent than the standards set forth in rules applicable to individuals who do not hold such licenses, certificates, or permits adopted under division (A) of this section. Subject to the provisions of section 3319.31 of the Revised Code, a permit issued to an individual under this division shall be valid for the same number of years as the individual's educator license, certificate, or permit issued under section 3319.22, 3319.26, or 3319.27 of the Revised Code and shall be renewable.

(2) The state board shall require, as a condition to renewing a pupil-activity program permit to coach interscholastic athletics, each individual applying for a permit renewal on or after that date to present evidence that the individual has successfully completed, within the previous three years, a training program in recognizing the symptoms of concussions and head injuries to which the department of health has provided a link on its internet web site under section 3707.52 of the Revised Code or a training program authorized and required by an organization that regulates interscholastic athletic competition and conducts interscholastic athletic events.

(D) The state board shall issue a permit for coaching, supervising, or directing a pupil-activity program in accordance with Chapter 4796. of the Revised Code to an applicant if either of the following applies:
