Bill > S229

This bill makes several changes related to college sports in North Carolina, starting with exempting records about a university's revenue sharing budget, which refers to money authorized to be paid to student-athletes, from public disclosure requirements, meaning these financial details will no longer be considered public records. It also allows constituent institutions, which are part of The University of North Carolina system, to classify all graduate student-athletes receiving full scholarships as North Carolina residents for tuition purposes, regardless of their actual residency. Furthermore, the bill expands where alcoholic beverages can be sold in connection with university-sponsored sports events, including designated satellite areas on campus for a period before and after events, and removes certain limitations on raffles conducted by these institutions and their affiliated nonprofit organizations.
