A huge congratulations to Akilah Weber, NATA Government Affairs team and the California Athletic Trainers' Association as Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 796 into law, which requires that athletic trainers be certified. "This bill would prohibit a person from holding themselves out to be an athletic trainer or from using specified titles or terms to imply or suggest that the person is an athletic trainer unless they meet prescribed requirements, including that the person is certified by the Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer, as specified." https://lnkd.in/g2D8yUhc
