H.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2440, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIFORM ATHLETE AGENTS ACT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to protect student-athletes and educational institutions from potential harm and unethical practices of athlete agents by enacting the Uniform Athlete Agents Act developed by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. This bill, among other things:
(1) Establishes registration requirements for athlete agents;
(2) Establishes information required in an agency contract;
(3) Requires student-athletes and athlete agents to notify educational institutions of an agency contract entered into by both parties;
(4) Establishes prohibited conduct on the part of athlete agents; and
(5) Exempts its provisions from the Auditor's sunrise analysis.
The University of Hawaii, Department of Education, and the Hawaii Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation supported this bill. The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs opposed this bill.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2020, to promote further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2440, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2440, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
