A2643A

The New York State Senate passed Assembly Bill 2643A, amending the Education Law to authorize out-of-state athletic trainers to continue working in New York. The bill passed 59-0 on a roll call vote. Sen. Bailey, who explained his vote, highlighted that the measure prevents authorization for out-of-state trainers from expiring in December and is supported by all local professional sports teams. Bailey noted the bill will allow trainers to continue supporting away games and major sporting events, including the World Cup. The measure takes effect on the same date and in the same manner as Chapter 733 of the Laws of 2023.
