8756B0B7E9B1FAB7872584CB0063F4A4 Hearing Summary

There was no public testimony on this agenda item. Commissioner Tipper reported that she followed up with the Governor's office regarding the Governor's veto of last year's commission bill and the only path forward with this act requires a sunrise review. The sunrise review application was filed in November, but the results of the review will not be presented until October 2020. Logistically the commission cannot move forward with the 2015 act and 2019 amendments this session. Commissioner Mielke expressed distress that Colorado universities, student athletes, and their families will not have the same protections as other states that have already adopted the 2015 act and 2019 amendments.

Commissioner Tipper moved to table consideration of the Revised Uniform Athlete Agents Act (2015) and 2019 Amendments for this year and to consider it for the 2021 legislative session. Commissioner Whitfield seconded and the motion passed with one objection.
