Uniform Athlete Agents Act

The Uniform Athlete Agents Act regulates the conduct of athlete agents who seek to represent student-athletes, requiring an agent to obtain a certificate of registration from a designated state official before acting as an agent and to keep that registration current through renewal, with defined grounds and hearing and appeal procedures for denial, suspension, or revocation. It also governs the agency relationship itself by prescribing the required form of the contract between agent and student-athlete, requiring notice to the student-athlete's educational institution, giving the student-athlete a right to cancel, and imposing recordkeeping obligations. Prohibited conduct is enforced through a layered scheme of criminal penalties, civil penalties, private civil remedies, and administrative measures such as cease-and-desist orders, with the administering official empowered to investigate violations and adopt implementing rules.
