Establishes a licensure compact for athletic trainers
HB 1844 creates the "Athletic Trainer Compact" to allow licensed athletic trainers to practice across participating states without obtaining separate licenses. It directly affects licensed athletic trainers seeking interstate mobility and patients who gain easier access to these professionals. The key mechanism is mutual recognition of licenses between member states, reducing administrative burdens while preserving each state's regulatory authority over scope of practice. The compact also supports telehealth access, shares disciplinary information, and includes provisions for military members and their families.
