SB-746 (Portantino): Physical Exams in Interscholastic Sports
AVFCA Commentary:
Legislation Details
Bill Name: Pupil health: physical examinations
Bill Number: SB-746
Bill Author(s): Portantino
Legislative Session / Year: 2017
State: California
AVFCA Position: Support
Bill Synopsis: This bill specifically authorized Nurse Practitioners (NP), Naturopathic Doctors (ND), and Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) to perform Pre-performance Physical Examinations (PPE) for students participating in interscholastic sports. Current law does not specifically discriminate against the above-mentioned providers performing PPEs and these practitioners have been legally performing PPEs for 30 years. The need for this bill arises due to the omission of NPs, NDs and DCs from the list of providers included in the California education code. This omission creates confusion and leaves school districts uncertain as to their potential vulnerability when accepting exams from omitted practitioners.
