Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

More NIL help from schools

Schools, conferences, and athletic associations can now help college athletes pick a NIL agent. They can arrange and provide payment to that agent. They can also help pick, arrange, or collect payments from third parties for NIL deals. The law also repeals subsection (e) of section 215, changing prior NIL rules.

Board disclosures delayed to 2026

Section 5710 does not apply before January 1, 2026. People and groups covered by that rule do not have to meet it until that date. This delays expanded financial disclosure rules for certain boards and commissions.

Temporary window for these NIL changes

The law takes effect after Mayor approval or a Council veto override and a 30-day Congressional review. It expires 225 days after it takes effect. The NIL help and rule changes apply only during this window.
