Bill Summary · SB 2099

Legislative bill overview

SB 2099 proposes modifications to Illinois's athletic trainer licensing fee structure. The bill was introduced by Senator Erica Harriss in February 2025 and is currently in the initial committee assignment phase. Specific fee amounts and regulatory changes are not publicly detailed in the available action history.

Why is this important

Athletic trainer licensing fees directly impact healthcare professionals' entry costs and operational expenses in Illinois. Fee adjustments can affect workforce availability in sports medicine and athletic health services across schools, universities, and professional organizations. Changes to licensing requirements or costs ripple through the healthcare and sports industry in the state.

Potential points of contention

  • Cost burden on professionals: Increased fees may create barriers for new athletic trainers entering the profession or for current licensees renewing credentials
  • Revenue vs. regulation balance: Whether fee changes adequately fund licensing oversight without becoming prohibitive
  • Competitive fairness: Potential disparities if fee structures differ across license types or experience levels, affecting market competition
