Bill Summary

Relative to intercollegiate athletic compensation and rights. Higher Education.

AI Summary

This bill aims to allow college athletes in Massachusetts to earn compensation from the use of their name, image, and likeness rights, as well as their athletic reputation, without penalty from their educational institutions. The bill prohibits schools from preventing athletes from obtaining representation for contracts or legal matters, and restricts the ability of schools to interfere with athletes' use of their name, image, and likeness rights during non-team activities. The bill also requires schools to conduct financial development programs for their athletes and allows athletes to pursue private legal action against violators. The provisions of the bill apply to new or renewed contracts and agreements as of January 1, 2022, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requests that any federal legislation respect the rights and protections provided in this legislation.
