Bill > HB608

This bill amends existing Louisiana law to create specific exceptions to public disclosure requirements for documents related to intercollegiate athletics revenue sharing programs at postsecondary education institutions. While the total amount of revenue spent on these programs must be publicly disclosed, the bill establishes that individual athlete compensation details, including specific amounts or percentages paid to any particular athlete, and the allocation of revenue to specific sports or athletic programs are confidential and not subject to public records requests. Furthermore, any documents involved in negotiating or creating agreements with athletes for these revenue sharing programs, including the agreements themselves, are also deemed confidential. This legislation aims to clarify and confirm the confidentiality of these specific records, applying both to existing and future documents and requests.
