Bill > HB2763

This bill enacts the Athletic Trainer Licensure Compact, which establishes a framework for athletic trainers (licensed professionals who prevent, examine, treat, and rehabilitate injuries and medical conditions) to practice in multiple member states. The compact aims to increase public access to athletic training services by allowing licensed athletic trainers in one member state to obtain a "compact privilege" to practice in other member states, provided they meet uniform licensure requirements and maintain a valid, unencumbered license. It creates an "Athletic Trainer Compact Commission" to oversee the compact, manage a data system for tracking licensees, and establish rules. The compact also addresses issues like adverse actions (disciplinary measures against a licensee), criminal background checks, and the process for states to join or withdraw from the agreement, while preserving each state's authority to regulate the practice within its borders.
