HB 6206 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Higher education: other; name, image, and likeness contract regulations; provide for. Amends 2020 PA 366 (MCL 390.1731 - 390.1741) by adding sec. 6a.

This bill regulates contracts involving college athletes in Michigan by prohibiting agreements that extend beyond the time a student is eligible to play sports. It specifically bans contracts that require athletes to give up future earnings or rights after their playing career ends, prevents agents from representing athletes on such long-term deals, and mandates that any legal disputes over these contracts be resolved in Michigan courts. Additionally, the law applies to athletes transferring into Michigan schools and declares any contract violating these rules to be invalid.
