South Dakota is joining the Athletic Trainer Licensure Compact, which allows licensed athletic trainers from other participating states to practice in South Dakota without getting a separate South Dakota license. The bill requires athletic trainers seeking to use this compact privilege to undergo a fingerprint-based criminal background check at their own expense and establishes procedures for the state licensing board to manage these background checks.
This amendment converts the bill from its introduced form into its enrolled (final passed) version by removing formatting markers and introductory language while preserving the substantive content adopting the athletic trainer licensure compact. The change is purely procedural and technical, with no effect on the bill's purpose or requirements.
