An applicant whose license has lapsed may, within 2 annual renewal cycles, renew a license by submitting the required renewal and late fees and a completed application that includes all of the following:
- The athletic trainer's name, Minnesota athletic trainer registration number, home address and telephone number, business address and telephone number, and business setting.
- Work history for the past year, including the average number of hours worked per week.
- A report of any change in status since initial registration or previous registration renewal.
- Satisfactory evidence of having met the continuing education requirements under Minnesota Statutes, section 148.7812.
- The athletic trainer's signature on a statement that a current copy of a protocol form is on file at the athletic trainer's primary employment site.
In addition, the applicant must submit satisfactory evidence from a licensed medical physician verifying employment in athletic training for eight weeks every three years during the time of the lapse in registration.
A registration that has lapsed and has not been renewed within two annual renewal cycles may not be renewed, reissued, reinstated, or restored. An athletic trainer whose registration is canceled for nonrenewal must obtain a new registration by applying for registration and fulfilling all requirements for initial registration in effect at the time of application.
Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies:
The proposed rules were developed by reviewing ss. 440.08, 448.9545, and 448.955, Stats., which provide requirements for renewal of a license as an athletic trainer, and the administrative rules concerning late renewal and reinstatement of a license that are administered by other credentialing boards affiliated with the Medical Examining Board.

The proposed rules were posted for a period of 14 days to solicit public comment on economic impact, including how the proposed rules may affect businesses, local government units, and individuals. No comments were received.
