02:01 PM -- SB16-071



Senator Todd introduced Senate Bill 16-071, concerning a revised Uniform Athlete Agents Act. This bill repeals and reenacts, with amendments, the Uniform Athlete Agents Act. The bill requires athlete agents to register with the Secretary of State every two years. An athlete agent is a person who contracts with student athletes to represent them for purposes of securing a professional sports services contract or endorsement contract or who advises the athlete in financial, business, or career management issues or manages those issues on the athlete's behalf.



The bill establishes requirements for registration and renewal of registration for athlete agents, specifies circumstances in which an application or renewal may be declined, and identifies cases in which a registration may be suspended or revoked. The bill also lists requirements for contracts between athletes and agents, and specifies prohibited conduct by an agent and the criminal penalties and civil remedies for a violation.

Dale Higer, Uniform State Law Commission, spoke in support of the bill. He responded to questions from the committee.

Brian Tobias, Department of Regulatory Agencies, spoke in opposition to the bill. He responded to questions from the committee.

02:44 PM -- HB16-1084



Senator Holbert introduced House Bill 16-1084 concerning home brewing for personal use. Current law allows the head of a family to produce beer or wine without having to obtain a liquor license or pay applicable liquor taxes. In order to qualify for an exemption, the home-produced beer or wine must be for family use and may not be made available for sale. This bill allows an adult, rather than a head of a family, to produce beer or wine for personal use, rather than family use, without having to obtain a liquor license or pay applicable liquor taxes.


BILL: HB16-1084
TIME: 02:45:55 PM
MOVED: Holbert
MOTION: Refer House Bill 16-1084 to the Committee of the Whole with a recommendation that it be placed on the consent calendar. The motion passed on a vote of 8-0.
