(Radio Iowa) – There will soon be a change in state restrictions on sports agents. For nearly a year, college athletes have been able to profit from the use of their name, image or likeness in commercials, on clothing or used in other ways. N-C-Double-A rules let them hire an agent to strike those deals. Senator Craig Johnson of Independence says the new state law will ensure agents don’t exploit Iowa college athletes.

Representative Anne Osmundson of Volga says the new Iowa law will align with how other states are regulating agents.

The House unanimously voted to make this move a year ago and the Iowa Senate took a final vote on the bill in March. The law takes effect on July 1st.
