An Act relating to athletic trainers; and providing for an effective date.

Maddy summaryHB 336 updates Alaska's laws regarding athletic trainers by clarifying their scope of practice and referral responsibilities. The bill requires athletic trainers to immediately refer individuals to licensed health care professionals when treatment is needed outside their scope or when athletic training is contraindicated. It also revises the legal definition of athletic training to focus on injury and illness prevention, evaluation, immediate care, and rehabilitation without limiting services to only those related to sports or athletes. These changes aim to ensure that athletic trainers operate within clear professional boundaries while maintaining access to necessary care for all individuals under their supervision.
