Interstate licensure compact established for athletic trainers.

This bill establishes an interstate licensure compact for athletic trainers in Minnesota, allowing licensed professionals to practice in other member states without obtaining a separate license for each location. The legislation creates a shared data system to track licenses and disciplinary actions, ensuring that information about a trainer's qualifications and any adverse actions taken against them is accessible across all participating states. To qualify for this cross-state practice privilege, athletic trainers must hold a current, unrestricted license in their home state and meet specific requirements regarding criminal background checks and continuing education. The bill also defines key terms such as "compact privilege" and "adverse action" to standardize how licensing authorities handle issues like suspensions or monitoring programs when a trainer moves between states.
