HB 3224 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the compensation and professional representation of certain students participating in University Interscholastic League activities.

This bill allows high school students participating in University Interscholastic League (UIL) activities to earn compensation for their name, image, or likeness during non-competition times and obtain legal representation for related contracts. It prohibits schools from banning such compensation or representation, while requiring students to be in 9th grade or higher and meet academic standards. The bill also sets rules to prevent compensation from influencing school enrollment or promoting prohibited items like tobacco, gambling, or steroids, and mandates financial literacy education for eligible students. It applies only to public or private secondary schools participating in UIL activities.
