Uniform College Athlete Name, Image, or Likeness Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution declares an emergency to prevent a legal gap in District of Columbia law regarding college athletes' name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights. It addresses the expiration of an existing emergency NIL law (effective until August 17, 2025) and the pending congressional review of a temporary NIL law (Bill 26-240). The resolution ensures continuity by authorizing the Council to adopt a temporary amendment act immediately, without requiring multiple legislative readings, to maintain existing NIL protections for athletes. It does not change NIL rules but bridges the gap between the expiring law and the pending temporary law.
