Bill > SB320

This bill enacts the Athletic Trainer Compact, which aims to increase mobility for licensed athletic trainers and improve public access to their services by allowing them to practice in other member states. The compact establishes a framework for mutual recognition of licenses among participating states, promoting workforce development and reducing administrative burdens. It also outlines provisions for data sharing among member states, including information on licensure, disciplinary actions, and investigative findings, to enhance public safety. The bill defines key terms such as "Licensee" (a licensed athletic trainer), "Member State" (a state that has enacted the compact), and "Compact Privilege" (the legal authorization to practice in another member state). It also details the requirements for states to join the compact, the process for obtaining a compact privilege, and the responsibilities of the Athletic Trainer Compact Commission, a governing body created by the compact. The compact includes specific provisions for active military members and their spouses, and establishes procedures for dispute resolution and enforcement among member states.
