SB 320: Enter into the Athletic Trainer Compact

SB 320 would allow Ohio to join the Athletic Trainer Compact, a multi-state agreement. This bill directly affects athletic trainers seeking licensure in multiple participating states. By enacting specific sections of the Revised Code, it would enable reciprocal licensure, meaning Ohio-licensed athletic trainers could more easily work in other states that are part of the compact without obtaining separate licenses. The key mechanism simplifies the process for athletic trainers to practice across state lines within the compact.
