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 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 concept known as a "compact privilege." The compact outlines minimum requirements for athletic trainer licensure in member states and creates an "Athletic Trainer Compact Commission" to manage the compact's operations, acting as an agency of the participating states. The bill details the commission's structure, powers, meeting procedures, finances, and the establishment of a data system to share information about licensees. It also addresses compliance, legal proceedings, defense and indemnification, how the compact takes effect (upon adoption by the seventh state), and procedures for withdrawal, default, and amendments, ensuring uniformity and upholding each state's regulatory authority while promoting mobility for athletic trainers.
