Bill > SB2377

This bill amends the Uniform Athlete Agents Law in Mississippi to impose penalties on individuals or entities acting as athlete agents without proper registration. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that penalizes any person, company, or entity engaging in the business of an athlete agent without complying with the chapter's requirements and obtaining a certificate of registration. Such violations will result in a fine of up to $25,000 and a three-year bar from registering as an athlete agent, starting from when the Secretary of State's finding becomes final, including any appeals. An athlete agent is a person who, for compensation, directly or indirectly recruits or solicits a student-athlete to enter into a professional sports contract or representation agreement. This bill aims to ensure that only registered and compliant individuals and entities can provide services to student-athletes, thereby protecting them from unregistered or unqualified agents.
