S 4113 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Enters NJ into Athletic Trainer Compact.

This bill allows New Jersey to join the Athletic Trainer Compact, a national agreement that lets licensed athletic trainers practice in other member states without needing separate licenses for each location. Under the new rules, qualified trainers from other states can provide services in New Jersey through a streamlined "compact privilege" as long as they meet uniform standards and agree to be regulated by the state where the patient is located. The legislation also includes provisions to support military families, facilitate telehealth services, and improve the sharing of disciplinary information among member states to protect public safety.
