Bill > S825

This bill seeks to allow college athletes to earn compensation from the use of their name, image, and likeness, while also regulating athlete agents who represent these student-athletes. Key provisions include: - Prohibiting colleges and athletic associations from preventing student-athletes from earning compensation from their name, image, and likeness, as long as it does not conflict with the student-athlete's team contract. - Allowing student-athletes to obtain professional representation, such as from athlete agents or attorneys, without it affecting their scholarship eligibility. - Requiring detailed disclosure requirements for agency contracts between student-athletes and athlete agents, including information about compensation and other individuals involved. - Establishing notice requirements for athlete agents to inform the student-athlete's educational institution when entering into an agency contract. - Providing student-athletes or their parents/guardians the right to cancel an agency contract within 14 days. - Prohibiting certain conduct by athlete agents, such as providing false information or furnishing anything of value to a student-athlete before signing a contract. - Requiring athlete agents to register with the state and authorizing the state secretary to deny, suspend, or revoke registration for certain misconduct. Overall, the bill aims to give college athletes more flexibility and opportunities to benefit financially from their name, image, and likeness, while also increasing transparency and oversight of the athlete agent industry.
