Task Force to Study Student Athlete Name, Image, and Likeness Programs in Maryland - Establishment

This bill establishes a task force to study how the House v. NCAA settlement may impact revenue sharing at Maryland universities and to examine future name, image, and likeness (NIL) programs for student athletes. The task force includes legislative members, University of Maryland athletic department representatives, and Governor-appointed experts with relevant experience. It must report its findings and recommendations to key legislative committees by December 1, 2025, and the bill expires on June 30, 2026. The task force itself has no authority to enact policy changes - its role is strictly to study and recommend.
