This legislation aims to prevent student athletes from being classified as employees of educational institutions, athletic conferences, or associations. It explicitly states that, notwithstanding any other Federal or State law, participation in varsity intercollegiate athletics programs or competitions, or adherence to team rules, does not establish an employment relationship. This applies to both current and former student athletes. The bill defines key terms such as institution as an institution of higher education sponsoring varsity athletics, and student athlete as an individual participating in such programs. It also clarifies association and conference as organizations governing intercollegiate sports, ensuring the prohibition covers all relevant entities within the collegiate athletic structure.
