MINOR

This bill expands who can provide athletic training services in New York under temporary interstate licensure, broadens the types of organizations and facilities eligible to receive these services, and updates the effective date to align with a previous law. The changes allow more professionals from other countries and states to work in New York and increase the range of venues where they can practice.

Scope change

Expanded from only U.S. states and territories to include countries, and broadened eligible organizations to include military, fire, and police training facilities.

ELIGIBILITY

Changed eligibility from requiring licensure in another state or territory to including licensure or title protection in another state, territory, or country, and added 'athletic therapist' as an eligible credential.

SCOPE

Added new eligible venues including military academies, fire training programs, police training schools, dance organizations, and various athletic organizations beyond the original list.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date from 'immediately' to match the effective date of chapter 733 of the laws of 2023, with authorization for necessary rules to be completed by that effective date.
