What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires an athletic trainer to have a consulting physician to

consult with the athletic trainer while the athletic trainer is engaging in athletic

training and 1) whose approval of an athletic trainer's evaluation and treatment

protocol is required in order for the athletic trainer to engage in athletic training and

2) who may require the athletic trainer to refer a patient to another provider if the

consulting physician determines that the patient has a medical condition that is

beyond the scope of practice of the athletic trainer. The bill repeals these provisions

requiring an athletic trainer to have a consulting physician.
