Compared against the Kentucky Revised Statutes as published AI-generated reading aid — verify against the official bill.

The bill amends KRS 164.6945 to add provisions restricting compensation promises in recruitment and to clarify the applicability of regulations by athletic associations.

  • KRS 164.6945

    Such compensation shall be consistent with the prevailing range of compensation for the authorized use of the athlete's name, image, or likeness. → Such compensation shall be consistent with prevailing market rate of the authorized use of the athlete's name, image, or likeness.

    This change updates the standard for compensation to be based on prevailing market rates rather than a range of compensation.

  • KRS 164.6945

    (a) A person or entity shall not give or promise compensation for the use of the name, image, or likeness of a current or prospective student-athlete to recruit or induce the athlete to enroll at any Kentucky institution.

    This provision prohibits giving or promising compensation as an inducement for recruitment at Kentucky institutions.

  • KRS 164.6945

    (b) A person or entity, regardless of residence, shall not give or promise compensation for the use of the name, image, or likeness of a student-athlete enrolled at a Kentucky institution or of a prospective student-athlete who has entered into an enrollment contract with a Kentucky institution with the purpose of recruiting or inducing the student-athlete to enroll at another postsecondary educational institution, regardless of the institution's location.

    This addition extends the prohibition on compensation promises to recruiting in other institutions, regardless of their location.

  • KRS 164.6945

    (3) An institution, association, or affiliated organization shall not: (a) Give or promise compensation for the use of an athlete's name, image, or likeness; (b) Direct compensation to be given for the use of the athlete's name, image or likeness; or (c) Negotiate any part of an NIL agreement on behalf of a prospective student-athlete.

    This stipulates that institutions and organizations cannot promise or direct compensation associated with NIL agreements.

  • KRS 164.6945

    (5) The provisions of subsections (2) and (3) of this section shall apply to NIL agreement activities only to the extent that an intercollegiate athletic association may lawfully regulate or restrict a student-athlete's agreements to receive compensation in exchange for his or her name, image, or likeness in a manner identical or substantially similar to that set forth in subsection (2) and (3) of this section, including as currently or may be in the future modified by a court of competent jurisdiction, and the intercollegiate athletic association chooses to do so.

    This addition clarifies that subsections (2) and (3) apply only to the extent that athletic associations can lawfully regulate NIL agreements.
