The general assembly hereby finds that dishonest or unscrupulous practices by athlete agents who solicit representation of student athletes can cause significant harm to student athletes and to the institutions of higher education for which they play. It is the general assembly's intent to protect the interests of student athletes and institutions of higher education by limiting the contacts between athlete agents and student athletes and by setting requirements for contracts entered into between athlete agents and student athletes.L. 96: Entire article added, p. 1487, § 1, effective July 1.
