S 1373 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to athletic training

This bill updates the legal definitions of "athletic trainer" and "athletic training" within Massachusetts state law to align with current professional standards. It specifies that an athletic trainer is someone licensed under the new section 23B and defines the role as involving injury evaluation, treatment, and education for athletes, coaches, and the community. Additionally, the legislation requires the Board of Allied Health Professions to review and update related rules and regulations within 180 days of the bill's passage. These changes aim to clarify the scope of practice for licensed athletic trainers in the state.
