The Florida House will dive into issues about college athletes getting paid for use of their names, images and likenesses, or what is known as NIL.
House Speaker Daniel Perez, R-Miami, on Wednesday created a workgroup that will include 21 members from the Education & Employment Committee, the Higher Education Budget Subcommittee and the Civil Justice & Claims Subcommittee to look at the NIL issues.
The workgroup will spend up to a week reviewing legal rights of athletes, legal responsibilities of schools and the financial impact on public universities.
The workgroup will be led by Rep. Alex Rizo, R-Hialeah, and is expected to meet next week.
