Establishes the Athletic Trainers Compact

SB 1149 establishes the Athletic Trainers Compact, creating a multi-state agreement to allow athletic trainers licensed in one participating state to practice in other compact states without needing separate licenses. This bill directly affects licensed athletic trainers seeking to work across state lines and the states that adopt the compact. The key mechanism is mutual recognition of licenses among participating states, streamlining professional mobility. The bill is currently pending referral to the Senate Emerging Issues and Professional Registration Committee after initial readings.
