ATHLETICS/TRAINERS: Provides relative to athletic trainer licensure

HB 272 updates Louisiana's licensing rules for athletic trainers by revising key definitions and adding new requirements. It clarifies that athletic trainers must work under a physician's "general supervision" and specifies their roles in injury prevention, emergency care, and rehabilitation using established clinical guidelines. The bill explicitly prohibits athletic trainers from paying others to refer injured athletes, aiming to prevent financial conflicts of interest. These changes apply directly to licensed athletic trainers and the state board overseeing their licensure.
