Bill > HB285

This bill establishes the Athletic Trainer Compact in Delaware, allowing licensed athletic trainers to practice in other participating states without needing separate licenses in each. The compact aims to improve public access to athletic training services by enabling licensed athletic trainers to practice in multiple states through mutual recognition of licenses, streamlining the process for qualified professionals, and reducing administrative burdens. It creates an Athletic Trainer Compact Commission, a governmental agency composed of all member states, to administer and implement the compact. The bill also defines key terms such as "Compact Privilege" (the authorization to practice in another member state), "Compact Qualifying License" (a license that meets compact requirements), and "Adverse Action" (disciplinary actions taken against a license). It outlines the requirements for states to join the compact, the process for obtaining a compact privilege, and the responsibilities of both the licensee and the member states. Furthermore, the bill addresses issues like active military members and their spouses, adverse actions, data sharing among states, rulemaking by the Compact Commission, dispute resolution, and the effective date and amendment of the compact.
