Athletic trainer scope of practice clarification

Summary

The bill defines what “athletic training” includes, requires licensed athletic trainers to work under a physician’s direction and follow written protocols, and sets limits on how long they can treat an injury without a referral. It also adds rules for temporary out‑of‑state trainers and removes outdated definitions of “athlete” and “athletic injury.” The changes aim to protect patient safety while giving trainers clear guidance.
