Bill > SB2044

This bill amends the Mississippi Intercollegiate Athletics Compensation and Publicity Rights Act to establish confidentiality for agreements related to student-athletes earning compensation for their publicity rights, meaning their name, image, likeness, or fame. Specifically, it mandates that all such agreements and their terms must be kept confidential by all parties involved, with no disclosure permitted without the express written consent of everyone involved. The bill also outlines penalties for unauthorized disclosure, including civil liability for actual damages, injunctive relief to stop further disclosures, and attorney's fees and costs. Furthermore, it specifies that athlete agents who violate these confidentiality rules can face administrative sanctions, such as suspension or revocation of their registration. The bill also makes conforming changes to other sections of Mississippi law, including allowing the Secretary of State to take action against individuals who violate these confidentiality provisions.
