Bill > HB1149

This bill adopts the Athletic Trainer Licensure 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. This aims to improve public access to athletic training services and support the mobility of athletic trainers, especially active military members and their spouses. To achieve this, the bill establishes procedures for criminal background checks for athletic trainers seeking to participate in the compact and outlines the definitions, requirements, and operational framework for the compact, including the creation of an Athletic Trainer Compact Commission to oversee its implementation and ensure uniformity in standards and disciplinary actions across member states.
