Bill Summary

a.k.a., the Jerry McGuire Bill, this bill brings consistency to Colorado law governing the agents of professional athletes. Based on a national model, the Uniform Athlete Agents Act protects Colorado athletes from unscrupulous agents and protects universities from NCAA sanctions because the university didn't know an athlete had signed a contract.
