A bill for an act enacting the athletic trainer compact.

SF 2139 creates the "athletic trainer compact," allowing licensed athletic trainers in Iowa to practice across state lines in other participating states without obtaining separate licenses. It directly affects licensed athletic trainers, particularly those relocating for military service or seeking broader practice opportunities, by enabling mutual recognition of licenses among member states. Key provisions include streamlining interstate practice through uniform requirements, reducing administrative burdens for both trainers and states, and maintaining each state’s regulatory authority over licensure and scope of practice. The compact also enhances access to care through telehealth and improves information sharing on disciplinary actions between states.
