Note on discrepancy: Although the header supplied with the request lists the bill title as relating to “union misrepresentation,” the bill text and legislative record show the bill amends the Illinois Athletic Trainers Practice Act. This summary follows the bill text and legislative actions.

Purpose / Intent

The bill makes a technical correction to Section 2 (the short title) of the Illinois Athletic Trainers Practice Act. It corrects a typographical error in the statute’s short-title provision. There is no substantive policy change to licensure, scope of practice, enforcement, or other regulatory provisions in the Act.

Key provisions

  • Amends 225 ILCS 5/2 (Section 2 of the Illinois Athletic Trainers Practice Act).
  • Replaces the existing text of the short-title section, which contained a duplication (“and and”), with corrected wording:
    • Current problematic text (as shown in bill): “This Act shall be known and and may be cited as the ‘Illinois Athletic Trainers Practice Act’.”
    • The amendment corrects the typographical duplication to read properly as the short-title provision.
  • No changes to definitions, substantive duties, licensing, or enforcement provisions of the Act are made.

Who is affected

  • Practically none: this is a clerical/technical correction to the short-title language of the statute. It does not alter rights, duties, or regulatory requirements for athletic trainers, employers, or licensing boards.
  • Legal drafters, citation uses, and statute publications benefit from the corrected, cleaner statutory text.

Procedural / timeline highlights

  • Introduced (filed) Feb–Mar 2025; referred to relevant committees and heard in public committee hearings.
  • House and Senate considered amendments; final concurrence and repassage occurred May–June 2025.
  • Governor signed June 11, 2025; enacted as Chapter 307 (2025 Laws).
  • Effective date: January 1, 2026.
  • The bill text notes the section as “scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026” in the existing statute header — the amendment takes effect the same date the statute’s repeal was noted.

Bottom line

HB 3789 is a non-substantive, technical amendment that corrects a typographical error in the short-title section of the Illinois Athletic Trainers Practice Act. It does not change regulatory requirements or policy affecting athletic trainers.
