New York lawmakers have approved a bill that permits out-of-state or international athletic trainers to practice in the state if they accompany a sports team or performing arts group. This legislation addresses concerns raised by major sports leagues, such as MLB, regarding player safety, especially considering a new strict licensing law on athletic trainers due to take effect. The legislation stems from collaboration among teams and was aimed particularly at fostering a safer environment for athletes when performing in New York.
This is significant because it resolves a major concern for teams about bringing their trainers to New York, ensuring player safety at events.
Senator Bailey stated, 'I think this is something that was important to all of the teams. This might be the only time that you've ever seen the Knicks and the Nets on the same page.'
