02:07 PM -- SB 16-161
Senator Crowder introduced Senate Bill 16-161, concerning regulation of athletic trainers. The bill, recommended by the Colorado Commission on Uniform State Laws, requires athletic trainers to be registered with the Division of Professions and Occupations (DPO) in the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), and reinstates the Athletic Trainer Practice Act as it existed prior to its 2015 repeal, by
- specifying educational background, certifications, and examination requirements;
- providing DORA with the ability to set fees and schedule renewals of registrations;
- establishing the grounds for disciplinary proceedings and authorizing the DPO director to take disciplinary actions; and
- establishing a class 2 misdemeanor for conviction of the offense of practicing without an active registration, and a class 1 misdemeanor for a subsequent offense.
In addition, the bill makes some changes to the act, including recodification, terminology modifications, and the following substantive changes:
- adding title protection for the abbreviation ATC (Athletic Trainer Certified) to limit its use to registered athletic trainers;
- requiring evidence of current national certification at registration and, if required by the DPO director, at renewal; and
- adding as grounds for discipline the failure of an athletic trainer to practice pursuant to the direction of a Colorado-licensed or otherwise lawfully practicing health care professional and the failure to practice in a manner that meets generally accepted standards of athletic training practice.
