Bill > HB2763

This bill enacts the Athletic Trainer Licensure Compact, which establishes a framework for athletic trainers (ATs) licensed in one member state to practice in other member states, thereby increasing mobility and public access to their services. The compact creates a commission composed of representatives from each member state to administer and implement its terms, and it defines key terms like "athletic training" (the prevention, examination, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions) and "compact privilege" (authorization to practice in another member state). To obtain a compact privilege, an AT must hold a valid certification from the Board of Certification (BOC) or meet specific educational and examination requirements, have an unencumbered license, and comply with continuing competence standards. The compact also outlines procedures for adverse actions, dispute resolution, and the establishment of a data system to share information among member states, all while preserving each state's authority to regulate the practice of athletic training within its borders.
