Interstate licensure compact establishment for athletic trainers

This bill establishes an interstate licensure compact for athletic trainers, allowing those licensed in one participating state to practice in others without obtaining separate licenses. It creates a central commission to manage the program and maintain a shared database of licensee information, including exam results and disciplinary actions. To qualify for this cross-state practice privilege, athletic trainers must hold an active, unrestricted license in their home state and meet specific standards regarding criminal background checks and continuing education. The legislation defines key terms such as adverse actions and alternative programs to ensure consistent regulation across all member states.
