TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 40-47-97 SO AS TO EXEMPT A TEAM PHYSICIAN LICENSED IN ANOTHER STATE FOR LICENSURE IN THIS STATE IF THE PHYSICIAN IS EMPLOYED OR DESIGNATED AS THE TEAM PHYSICIAN FOR A TEAM VISITING THIS STATE AND THE PHYSICIAN ONLY TREATS THE TEAM MEMBERS, COACHES, AND STAFF.

        (3)    is employed or designated as the team physician by an athletic team visiting the State for a specific sporting event.

    (B)    A physician's practice under this section is limited to the members, coaches, and staff of the team by which the physician is employed or designated. A physician practicing in this State under the authority of this section does not have practice privileges in any licensed health care facility and is not authorized to issue orders or prescriptions or to order testing at a medical facility in this State."

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
