House committee gives favorable report to athletic trainer interstate compact bill (SB160)

The House committee advanced SB160, described during the session as the athletic trainer interstate compact bill. A member said the legislation mirrors language previously approved in the form of HB275 (Rep. Mooney) and noted the compact had passed in that form. "This bill... is the athletic trainer compact bill that you've already passed," a member said, referencing prior action.

Representative Parker Moore moved to report SB160 favorably and Representative Givens seconded the motion. The chair called for a voice vote; members responded 'Aye,' and the chair announced the bills had been given favorable reports.

No substantive debate, amendments, or stakeholder testimony on SB160 were recorded during the meeting. Committee members offered no detailed floor strategy or implementation timeline in the session; the bill proceeds with a favorable committee report and is expected to continue through the normal legislative process.
