Bill > HB574

This bill authorizes Virginia to become a signatory to the Athletic Trainer Compact, a multi-state agreement that allows qualified and licensed athletic trainers to practice in other member states. The Compact aims to increase public access to athletic training services, promote mobility for athletic trainers, and streamline the licensing process across states while preserving each state's authority to regulate the profession and protect public health. It establishes a framework for mutual recognition of licenses, information sharing between states, and a governing commission to oversee the Compact's implementation. The Compact will officially take effect once enacted by a seventh participating state.
