Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 17:3703(M), relative to compensation for intercollegiate athletics; to provide relative to an intercollegiate athletics revenue sharing program; to provide relative to public records; to create a public records exception; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Louisiana law concerning intercollegiate athletics compensation and rights to create new confidentiality provisions for an intercollegiate athletics revenue sharing program. Specifically, it clarifies that while the total amount of revenue a postsecondary education institution spends on such a program must be publicly disclosed, individual athlete compensation amounts, percentages paid to specific athletes, and allocations to particular sports or athletic programs will be considered confidential and exempt from public records requests. Furthermore, any documents related to the negotiation or execution of agreements with individual athletes under these revenue sharing programs will also be kept confidential, meaning they cannot be inspected, examined, copied, or reproduced under the Public Records Law, which is the state's law governing public access to government documents.
