Bill > S05275

This bill allows licensed athletic trainers from other states, territories, or countries to provide athletic training services at specific sporting events in New York under certain conditions. Specifically, these out-of-state athletic trainers can provide services to athletes and team personnel of recognized sports teams, including U.S. Olympic teams, secondary schools, colleges, professional or amateur athletic organizations, and performing arts troupes, but only during a discrete sanctioned event. The services are limited to five days before through three days after the event. Importantly, these visiting athletic trainers will still be subject to the jurisdiction of New York's Board of Regents and must comply with professional conduct regulations, essentially ensuring they are held to the same standards as local licensed practitioners. This provision seems designed to facilitate athletic training support for traveling teams and performers while maintaining professional oversight and standards.
