Oklahoma’s governor has signed its NIL bill into law, making it the 18th state with a law providing student-athletes with the right to profit off their name, image and likeness. Oklahoma’s law allows schools to give student athletes the rights immediately, but grants those rights for all student athletes in the state no later than July 1, 2023. This is similar to Nebraska’s law.
Legislation in Illinois, Missouri and Texas is currently awaiting signatures by the states’ governors. Illinois and Texas would go into effect July 1, 2021, and Missouri would go into effect August 28, 2021.
