Congress has a bill that is going to make it to the floor
Summary
Injury: the final Protect College Sports Bill was scheduled to be voted on but senators have decided to try for additional amendments today.
So the final Protect College Sports Bill was scheduled to be voted on but senators have decided to try for additional amendments today. Senator Baldwin's amendment if being voted on right now (it will be passed) and here is what it adds to the Bill: The main issue is state-law preemption — essentially, what states would still be allowed to regulate after the federal Protect College Sports Act becomes law. The Baldwin/Kaine amendment would: Prevent states from enforcing laws that conflict with the federal bill. Prevent states from regulating or invalidating institutional/conference/NCAA rules concerning: NIL compensation Transfers Certain athlete eligibility provisions. At the same time, it specifically preserves a substantial list of state laws and legal remedies, including: Civil-rights laws Tort law Criminal law Privacy/data-breach laws Contract law Trademark and copyright law Consumer-protection laws Personal-injury and wrongful-death claims Sexual-assault and harassment claims Fraud Abuse/Hazing Campus/Student-Safety claims. Senator Booker has flatly refused the whole bill. It won't matter though.
