Bill > HR6616

This bill establishes collective bargaining rights for college athletes. It amends the National Labor Relations Act to define college athletes who receive compensation, such as grant-in-aid, as "employees" of their institutions. This allows college athletes to form collective bargaining units across institutions within the same athletic conference. The bill also grants the National Labor Relations Board jurisdiction over collective bargaining matters involving college athletes and their institutions. Additionally, the bill specifies that the tax treatment and eligibility for federal financial assistance of such compensation for college athletes will not be affected.
