The bill aims to prohibit state-funded medical schools in Arkansas from utilizing state general revenue funds derived from tax dollars for any activities related to the name, image, or likeness of student-athletes, as outlined in the Arkansas Student-Athlete Publicity Rights Act. Specifically, it introduces a new section to the Arkansas Code that explicitly states that these medical schools cannot use such funds for the name, image, or likeness of student-athletes, nor can they contract with or provide any state general revenue funds to student-athletes for these purposes.

The new legal language inserted into the current law includes a clear prohibition against the use of state funds for the aforementioned activities, ensuring that taxpayer money is not allocated towards the commercialization of student-athletes' identities by state-funded medical institutions. This legislative measure reflects a commitment to maintaining the integrity of state funding and prioritizing its use for educational and medical purposes rather than for the promotion of individual student-athletes.
