KS HB2763

Kansas would join the Athletic Trainer Licensure Compact, allowing athletic trainers licensed in one member state to practice in other member states through a "compact privilege" without obtaining separate licenses in each state

Licensed athletic trainers must meet eligibility requirements including holding BOC certification or equivalent education/examination, maintaining an unencumbered license with no restrictions in the previous two years, and completing a criminal background check

The compact creates the Athletic Trainer Licensure Compact Commission, a joint government agency composed of one commissioner from each member state that will adopt rules, maintain a data system for licensure and disciplinary information, and oversee compact administration

The compact takes effect when enacted by seven states; member states may withdraw with 180 days' notice, and states can be terminated for non-compliance after a default process

Active military members and their spouses are exempt from compact privilege fees charged by the commission, and member states may choose to reduce or waive their own fees for military families
