Bill Summary
This bill establishes the athletic trainer compact. The compact establishes a system whereby an athletic trainer licensed to practice in one participating state may practice in another participating state under a compact privilege without applying for a license in that state. The compact imposes certain minimum requirements on the licensure of athletic trainers in participating states. The compact creates a commission to administer the operation of the compact. The commission is an instrumentality of the participating states. The compact includes provisions relating to the establishment and membership of the commission; powers of the commission; meetings and voting requirements of the commission; commission bylaws and rules; commission committees; commission finances; the establishment of a data system; compacting state compliance; venue for judicial proceedings; defense and indemnification; effective dates and amendments to the compact; withdrawal, default, and expulsion; severability and construction; and the binding effect of the compact and other laws. The compact becomes effective upon the adoption of the compact by the seventh participating state.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the Athletic Trainer Compact, a system allowing athletic trainers licensed in one participating state to practice in another participating state under a "compact privilege" without needing a new license in that second state, provided they meet certain minimum requirements. The compact aims to increase access to athletic training services, promote mobility for professionals, and reduce administrative burdens. It creates an "Athletic Trainer Compact Commission" composed of representatives from each member state to administer the compact, establish rules, and manage a data system for tracking licensees and disciplinary actions. The compact will become effective once enacted by seven states and includes provisions for state participation, eligibility for compact privileges, the powers and operation of the commission, dispute resolution, and procedures for withdrawal or amendment.
