The "Health Occupations Revision Exemption Temporary Amendment Act of 2025" aims to amend the District of Columbia Health Occupations Revision Act of 1985 to allow healthcare professionals licensed in foreign countries to provide care for athletic teams competing in the District. This legislation is particularly relevant as the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is set to host the Club World Cup 2025 in June, which will involve foreign teams that typically travel with their own medical staff. The proposed amendment would create a temporary exemption from licensure for these foreign healthcare professionals, enabling them to attend to the healthcare needs of their teams during their stay in the District.

The bill specifies that the exemption will apply only to individuals licensed in good standing in their home countries and will be limited to a maximum of 30 consecutive days. It restricts the healthcare services to those provided to athletes, support personnel, and coaching staff at designated locations, such as team basecamps and competition sites, while explicitly prohibiting practice in healthcare clinics or facilities within the District. This legislative change is intended to enhance the District's appeal as a venue for international sporting events by ensuring that foreign teams can maintain their standard of care while competing.
