The bill enacts the Athletic Trainer Compact into Oklahoma law, allowing the Governor to enter into agreements with other jurisdictions to facilitate the mutual recognition of athletic training licenses. It establishes new sections in the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically Section 535.1 and Section 535.2 of Title 59, which outline the Compact's purpose and structure. The primary goals include enhancing the mobility of licensed athletic trainers across member states, improving public access to athletic training services, and maintaining state regulatory authority for public health and safety. The Compact aims to streamline the process for athletic trainers to practice in multiple states by recognizing licenses from other member states and reducing administrative burdens.

Additionally, the bill creates the Athletic Trainer Licensure Compact Commission, which oversees the implementation of the Compact, including rule establishment, investigations, and financial management. The Commission has the authority to collect fees, conduct audits, and maintain confidentiality in investigations, while also providing qualified immunity for its members. The bill outlines the process for member states to withdraw from the Compact, requiring a 180-day notice, and emphasizes that state laws regarding the scope of practice for licensed athletic trainers will not be overridden by the Compact. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
