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.

AI Summary

This Study Bill enacts the Athletic Trainer Compact, a legislative agreement designed to allow athletic trainers licensed in one participating state to practice in another participating state without needing a separate license in the new state, a process referred to as a "compact privilege." The compact establishes minimum licensing requirements for athletic trainers in member states and creates an "Athletic Trainer Compact Commission" to manage its operations, acting as an instrumentality of the participating states. The bill outlines the commission's structure, powers, and finances, including provisions for data systems, compliance, dispute resolution, and the process for states to join, withdraw, or be removed from the compact, with the agreement becoming effective once seven states have adopted it.
