Bill Summary
An act relating to agents of student athletes; amending s. 468.454, F.S.; prohibiting the agent of a student athlete from receiving more than a specified percentage of the student athlete’s total compensation derived from the use of the student athlete’s name, image, or likeness; requiring an agent representing a high school student athlete to be licensed with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation; requiring the department to include such agents in its licensing portal; authorizing the department to adopt rules; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends Florida's existing laws regarding agents representing student athletes by establishing two key provisions: First, the bill limits agents to receiving no more than 5 percent of a student athlete's total compensation from endorsement deals, promotional activities, or other opportunities involving the athlete's name, image, or likeness. Second, the bill requires agents representing high school student athletes to be licensed with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, mandating that these agents be included in the department's licensing portal. The legislation aims to regulate the representation of student athletes, particularly those at the high school level, by setting clear compensation boundaries and ensuring agent accountability through a formal licensing process. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving stakeholders time to prepare for the new requirements.
