Amended Senate Bill No. 320 proposes the establishment of the Athletic Trainer Compact in Ohio, which aims to facilitate the practice of Licensed Athletic Trainers across multiple states while maintaining state regulatory authority. The compact allows qualified trainers to practice in other Member States, promoting mutual recognition of licenses and reducing administrative burdens. Key provisions include eligibility criteria for states to join, requirements for obtaining a Compact Privilege, and the establishment of the Athletic Trainer Licensure Compact Commission to oversee the compact's implementation. The bill also emphasizes cooperation among states in regulating interstate practice and managing licensure and disciplinary information.

The bill introduces several new governance provisions for the Compact Commission, including the formation of an Executive Committee to manage day-to-day operations and ensure compliance with rules and bylaws. It mandates the development of a coordinated Data System for tracking licensure and adverse actions, with strict confidentiality measures for submitted information. Additionally, the bill outlines the rulemaking authority of the Commission, procedures for adopting rules, and the process for states to withdraw from the Compact. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the operational efficiency and accountability of the Compact while ensuring public safety and compliance with state regulations.
