Sec. 20-65k. License to practice athletic training. Temporary permit. Fees. (a)
The commissioner shall grant a license to practice athletic training to an applicant who
presents evidence satisfactory to the commissioner of having met the requirements of
section 20-65j. An application for such license shall be made on a form required by the
commissioner. The fee for an initial license under this section shall be one hundred fifty
dollars.
(b) A license to practice athletic training may be renewed in accordance with the
provisions of section 19a-88, provided any licensee applying for license renewal shall
maintain certification as an athletic trainer by the Board of Certification, Inc., or its
successor organization. The fee for such renewal shall be one hundred dollars.
(c) The department may, upon receipt of an application for athletic training licensure, accompanied by the licensure application fee of one hundred fifty dollars, issue a
temporary permit to a person who has met the requirements of subsection (a) of section
20-65j, except that the applicant has not yet sat for or received the results of the athletic
training certification examination administered by the Board of Certification, Inc., or its
successor organization. Such temporary permit shall authorize the permittee to practice
athletic training under the supervision of a person licensed pursuant to subsection (a)
of this section. Such practice shall be limited to those settings where the licensed supervisor is physically present on the premises and is immediately available to render assistance and supervision, as needed, to the permittee. Such temporary permit shall be valid
for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty calendar days after the date of completion
of the required course of study in athletic training and shall not be renewable. Such
permit shall become void and shall not be reissued in the event that the permittee fails
to pass the athletic training certification examination. No permit shall be issued to any
person who has previously failed the athletic training certification examination or who
is the subject of an unresolved complaint or pending professional disciplinary action.
Violation of the restrictions on practice set forth in this section may constitute a basis
for denial of licensure as an athletic trainer.
