Bill Summary
This bill will enter New Jersey into the Athletic Training Compact. The compact establishes a multistate license system in which an individual licensed as an athletic trainer needs only to obtain licensure in one state that is a party to the compact in order to practice as an athletic trainer in another member state to the compact, so long as certain requirements established under the compact are met by the individual. Under the bill, provisions are established regarding, among other items, the authority of a member state's licensing authority; how an adverse action against a multistate licensee is managed; the set-up of the Athletic Trainer Compact Commission and its Executive Committee; the collection of data on member states; and how to withdraw from the compact, if sought by a member state.
AI Summary
This bill enacts the "Athletic Trainer Compact," establishing a multistate licensing system for athletic trainers, allowing individuals licensed in one member state to practice in other member states without needing separate licenses, provided they meet certain requirements. The compact outlines provisions for state licensing authorities, handling of disciplinary actions (adverse actions), the creation and operation of an Athletic Trainer Compact Commission and its Executive Committee, data collection on member states, and procedures for withdrawing from the compact. This system aims to increase public access to athletic training services, promote mobility for licensed athletic trainers, reduce administrative burdens, and enhance interstate cooperation in regulating the profession.
