Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to public health and welfare; to amend sections 38-404 and 38-409, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, and section 38-131, Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025; to adopt the Athletic Trainer Compact; to provide for criminal background checks; to harmonize provisions; to provide an operative date; and to repeal the original sections.
AI Summary
This bill adopts the Athletic Trainer Compact, which is an agreement between states to allow licensed athletic trainers to practice in other member states without needing a separate license in each state, thereby increasing access to their services and promoting workforce mobility. The compact establishes uniform requirements for athletic trainers, creates a commission to oversee its implementation, and outlines procedures for criminal background checks, licensure, and disciplinary actions. It also amends existing state laws to include athletic trainers in the criminal background check requirement for initial licensure and to recognize athletic trainers licensed under the compact. The bill specifies that the compact will become operative on January 1, 2027, and repeals the original sections of law that are being amended.
