A bill to prohibit high schools and certain athletic organizations from preventing high school student athletes in this state from receiving compensation from the use of their name, image, or likeness rights under certain circumstances and to establish standards for the exercise of these name, image, or likeness rights.
House Bill 4816 would create a new act, the Compensation of High School Athletes Act, to provide guidelines for high school student athletes and their ability to receive compensation for their name, image, or likeness (NIL). Specifically, the bill would prohibit a high school from upholding any rule, requirement, standard, or other limitation that prevents a student athlete of that high school from fully participating in high school athletics based on the student athlete’s earning compensation from use of their NIL rights.
