SB 490 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Student Athlete Name, Image, and Likeness Rights Act; modifying terms and requirements for certain agreements between student athletes and postsecondary institutions or authorized third parties. Emergency.

SB 490 modifies the Student Athlete Name, Image, and Likeness Rights Act, affecting student athletes, postsecondary institutions, and third parties involved in NIL agreements. The bill permits postsecondary institutions or authorized third parties to provide professional representation and compensate student athletes for their NIL, provided it aligns with collegiate association rules and institutional policy. Crucially, it prohibits the use of state funds by postsecondary institutions for such compensation. The bill also allows institutions to revoke agreements with student athletes who receive unauthorized compensation without liability and adjusts terms for contract disclosure and the post-eligibility use of NIL by institutions for promotional content.
