relates to employment status. 
This amendment also provides that a college or university may not disqualify a student 
athlete who is participating in an intercollegiate athletic program at a college or university

because the student is earning compensation or has obtained professional representation 
related to the use of the student's name, image or likeness. 
This amendment also clarifies that the provisions of the bill may not be construed to 
limit a college or university from adopting or enforcing a policy, requirement, standard or 
limitation that establishes conditions by which a student athlete may monetize the student 
athlete's name, image or likeness, including prohibitions on a student athlete's use of a 
college or university trademark, logo or facility and a student athlete's use of the student 
athlete's name, image or likeness in a manner that is inconsistent with a college or university 
code of conduct or other college or university policy.
