A. The
					 submission of an application for licensure to the board shall constitute and
					 operate as an authorization by the applicant to each educational institution at
					 which the applicant has matriculated, each governmental agency to which the
					 applicant has applied for any license, permit, certificate, or registration,
					 each person, firm, corporation, organization, or association by whom or with
					 whom the applicant has been employed as an athletic trainer, each physician

					 professional or trade organization to which the applicant has applied for
					 membership, to disclose and release to the board any and all information and
					 documentation concerning the applicant which the board deems material to
					 consideration of the application. With respect to any such information or
					 documentation, the submission of an application for licensure to the board

					 directed by the board if the board has reasonable grounds to believe that the
					 applicant's capability to act as an athletic trainer with reasonable skill or
					 safety to athletes may be compromised by physical or mental condition, disease
					 or infirmity, and the applicant shall be deemed to have waived all objections
					 as to the admissibility or disclosure of findings, reports, or recommendations
					 pertaining thereto on the grounds of privileges provided by law.
C. The submission of an application for
					 licensure to the board shall constitute and operate as an authorization and
					 consent by the applicant to the board to disclose any information or
					 documentation, set forth in or submitted with the applicant's application or
					 obtained by the board from other persons, firms, corporations, associations, or
					 governmental entities pursuant to §3131, to any person, firm, corporation,
					 association, or governmental entity having a lawful, legitimate, and reasonable
					 need therefor, including, without limitation, the athletic trainer licensure or
					 licensing authority of any state, the National Athletic Trainers Association,
					 the Louisiana Athletic Trainers Association, the Board of Certification, the
					 Louisiana Department of Health, state, county or parish, and municipal health
					 and law enforcement agencies and the armed services.
