An Act relative to athletic training

This bill removes a restriction that previously limited athletic trainers to practicing only with schools or teams they were directly associated with. It requires licensed athletic trainers in schools to complete annual head injury safety training, aligning them with other school staff under existing safety rules. The Board of Allied Health Professions must update relevant regulations within 180 days of the bill's passage. These changes directly affect athletic trainers working in Massachusetts schools and ensure they meet the same safety training requirements as other school personnel.
