Relating to prohibited student athlete name, image, and likeness agreements; providing injunctive relief and a civil penalty.

SB 2030 prohibits agreements where a third party advances a student athlete a percentage of their future name, image, and likeness (NIL) earnings while charging interest on that advance. It directly affects student athletes participating in University Interscholastic League activities or intercollegiate sports at Texas institutions of higher education. The bill makes such agreements void and unenforceable, bans waivers of these rules, and imposes civil penalties of up to $100,000 per violation. The Attorney General can enforce these provisions through lawsuits to recover penalties or block violations. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
