Committee advances bill to codify GHSA rules on high-school NIL, add sunset for agreements
Summary
The House Education Committee voted to advance HB 383 (LC492009), a bill that would codify Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) guidelines for high school athletes, bar use of school logos in NIL deals, and add contractual sunsets so agreements expire when a student is no longer a high‑school athlete.
The Georgia House Committee on Education voted to advance House Bill 383 (LC492009), a measure that would place statutory guardrails around name, image and likeness (NIL) arrangements for high school student athletes. The committee’s action followed testimony from GHSA leadership and several committee members.
Under the bill as presented, the legislature would codify existing GHSA NIL guidelines, prohibit use of school mascots and logos in high‑school NIL deals, and require that NIL contracts for high‑school athletes include a sunset clause so agreements terminate when the student is no longer a high‑school athlete and must be renegotiated at the collegiate or professional level.
