Good to see the Congress can sometimes get together and pass beneficial legislation. Recently the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 921, the Sports Medicine Licensure Clarity Act. The bill, passed unanimously by the House on Sept. 12, ensures that sports medicine professionals are properly covered by their malpractice insurance while traveling with athletic teams to another state. 
 As all professional football teams, as well as 28 of the 30 major league baseball clubs, have a doctor of chiropractic as part of their medical training staff this will also benefit my profession who works in sports medicine.
