House Bill No. 910 amends and reenacts several definitions related to athletic trainers in Louisiana law, specifically in R.S. 37:3302. The bill clarifies the definitions of "athlete," "athletic trainer," "emergency management," and "physical rehabilitation," while also introducing a new definition for "athletic injury." The updated definitions emphasize the roles and responsibilities of athletic trainers, including their supervision by physicians and the methods they may use in emergency care and rehabilitation of athletes.

The bill also establishes that an "athletic injury" encompasses any injury, illness, or medical condition sustained by an athlete during participation in various physical activities. The effective date of the bill is contingent upon the governor's signature or the expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature. Overall, this legislation aims to enhance the clarity and scope of regulations governing athletic trainers and their practices in Louisiana.
