Sens. Thune, Klobuchar Bill to Provide Licensure Clarity for Sports Medicine Professionals Heads to President
"Sports medicine professionals provide an important service to athletes, on the road and at home," said Thune. "I'm glad they will soon have the clarity they need to perform their job as efficiently and effectively as possible."
"On the road or at home, sports medicine professionals should be able to treat athletes without putting themselves at legal risk," said Klobuchar. "When this bill becomes law, doctors and other health care providers will be able to treat their athletes regardless of where their teams happen to be playing."
The legislation will allow covered sports medicine professionals to engage in the treatment of injured athletes across state lines, as long as they have an agreement in place with the team or athlete being treated and are performing services within the scope of practice of their state of licensure.
