Senate Amendment 3
H 4957 - Session 125 (2023-2024)
Intercollegiate athlete name, image, and likeness compensation
Senator Malloy proposes the following amendment (SMIN-4957.AA0009S):
Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 4, by striking Section 59-158-40(2)(B) and inserting:
(C) An institution of higher learning must disclose known prohibitions for the use of an intercollegiate athlete's name, image, or likeness at the time that an intercollegiate athlete is admitted to the institution of higher learning or when the intercollegiate athlete signs a financial aid agreement or team contract.(B) An institution of higher learning or any officers, trustees, directors employees, including athletics coaching staff, may not be liable for any damages to an intercollegiate athlete's ability to earn compensation for the use of the intercollegiate athlete's name, image, or likeness resulting from decisions or actions routinely taken in the course of intercollegiate athletics. However, nothing in this Section should be construed to bar any common law claims by intercollegiate athletes of fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or intentional misrepresentation.
