Education (Licensing)

HB 2763 creates a compact allowing athletic trainers licensed in one participating state to practice in other member states without obtaining separate licenses. This directly affects licensed athletic trainers seeking to work across state lines, active military members and their spouses relocating for duty, and patients gaining broader access to these professionals. The bill establishes uniform licensing standards and a commission to manage mutual recognition, eliminating the need for multiple state licenses while preserving each state's authority to regulate practice and protect public safety. It requires trainers to maintain current licensure and meet continuing education standards to exercise interstate practice privileges.
