HF 2600: Enacting the athletic trainer compact

What it does

This bill establishes the athletic trainer compact. The compact establishes a system whereby an athletic trainer licensed to practice in one participating state may practice in another participating state under a compact privilege without applying for a license in that state. The compact imposes certain minimum requirements on the licensure of athletic trainers in participating states. The compact creates a commission to administer the operation of the compact. The commission is an instrumentality of the participating states.
