Revised Uniform Athlete Agents Act
Hawaii · 481Z · §§ 481Z-1 to 481Z-9 · 18 sections
Overview
The Revised Uniform Athlete Agents Act regulates the people who represent student athletes in negotiating professional sports services and endorsement contracts, and it governs the agency contracts themselves. It establishes a state registration system administered by the secretary of state — applications with mandatory disclosures, certificates that may be issued, renewed, denied, suspended, or revoked, reciprocity for agents registered elsewhere, and fees set by regulation — and makes it unlawful to act as an athlete agent without registering, voiding contracts entered in violation. It also prescribes required contract terms and warning notices, gives student athletes (or a minor's parent or guardian) a right to cancel, obliges agents to notify educational institutions and keep inspectable records, and backs the scheme with investigative and subpoena authority, criminal penalties, and a private right of action for damages.
