The measure, presented by Chairman Sopiki, is strictly honorary and contains no policy or budget provisions. "This is a senate joint resolution that did not make the filing deadline in the house. It names the month of March, athletic trainers march, and that's all it does, mister chairman," Chairman Sopiki said when he introduced the item.
Committee members asked a clarifying question about scope. Representative Marsh asked whether the designation would include team managers; Chairman Sopiki replied, "Just athletic trainers, sir." There was no further debate.
The clerk recorded nine ayes and the motion passed. The committee chair said the measure "moves on to education committee with a positive recommendation."
