(7) Provides for additional requirements when communicating the existence of an agency contract to an educational institution. (8) Allows athlete agents certified in a particular sport by a national association that promotes or regulates intercollegiate athletics, and establishes eligibility standards for participation by a student athlete in the sport, to cover limited expenses of a prospective or enrolled student athlete and the student athlete's family under certain circumstances. (9) Expands criminal liability for athlete agents if the athlete agent encourages an individual to take or assist in taking an unlawful action.
