What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
