Summary

House Bill 10 99, which would create a work group to develop best practices and transparency around athlete name‑image‑likeness (NIL) deals, was continued to 2027 by the subcommittee after members said they want to watch national developments and allow more time for alignment with recent NIL legislation.

Delegate Singh presented House Bill 10 99 as a measure to create a stakeholder work group to develop best practices, increase transparency and protect student athletes from exploitative contracts and gray‑area dealings. Singh noted benefits from NIL but warned of agents and collectives offering large sums with high commissions and urged clearer rules to level the competitive field.

Supporters such as the Virginia Coalition for Open Government urged the committee to act sooner to protect athletes; others on the panel counseled patience while federal and national rules evolve. The subcommittee voted to continue the bill to 2027 by voice vote. Members asked the sponsor to return with additional analysis after recent state and federal activity in the NIL space.
