Education, Higher - As enacted, makes changes to present law regarding an intercollegiate athlete's name, image, or likeness. - Amends TCA Title 49.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Tennessee law to remove a specific provision that previously restricted how colleges could use an intercollegiate athlete's name, image, or likeness. By deleting the relevant section of the state code, the legislation effectively lifts the existing legal barrier that prevented institutions from utilizing these rights for commercial purposes. The change directly impacts higher education institutions in Tennessee by allowing them to operate under updated rules regarding athlete branding. This procedural amendment simplifies the legal framework without adding new restrictions or requirements.
