The bill establishes the Athletic Trainer Compact, which facilitates the practice of licensed athletic trainers across member states without the need for multiple licenses, while still allowing each state to maintain its regulatory authority for public health and safety. The compact includes provisions for mutual recognition of licenses, streamlined interstate practice, and the use of telehealth services. It also mandates that participating states enact legislation that aligns with the model compact language, maintain licensure for athletic trainers, and implement a criminal background check process for applicants. The compact creates a framework for compact privileges, enabling athletic trainers to practice in remote states under specific conditions, and includes provisions for disciplinary actions and the management of encumbered licenses.

Additionally, the bill establishes the Athletic Trainer Licensure Compact Commission, which will oversee the compact's implementation and administration. The commission will consist of one commissioner from each member state and will have the authority to adopt rules, manage finances, and conduct investigations. The bill also outlines the rulemaking process, including public hearings and emergency rules, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining state action immunity and sovereign immunity concerning antitrust claims. The compact will take effect once enacted by seven member states, and any state may withdraw with a notice period of 180 days. Provisions for severability are included, ensuring that if any part of the compact is deemed unconstitutional, the remaining provisions will still be valid.
