❌ HB184
Prescribe limitations on intercollegiate athlete contracts
Current Status: Sent To The Governor
Summary
The bill prescribes limitations on contracts between intercollegiate athletes and third parties regarding the use of the athletes' name, image, or likeness. It prohibits contracts that extend beyond the athlete's eligibility and restricts compensation related to the athlete's name, image, or likeness after eligibility ends. Violations render such contracts void.
Rationale
The bill imposes restrictions on contracts and compensation related to personal rights, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of self-ownership and freedom of contract. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate for minimal government interference in personal and economic matters, making this bill largely opposed to their core principles.
Risks and Concerns
- Limits individual rights of athletes
- Increases government control over contracts
