Approximately 1,500 athletes compete in the event.
The bill would allow licensed professionals, such as massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors and podiatrists, from other states and territories to provide services to competitors from July 22 through July 27, 2015. The health care professionals must be in good standing and be appointed by the World Triathlon Corporation.
The legislation is pending consideration by the Assembly where it is sponsored by Assemblyman Dan Stec.
