House Bill No. by Representative Chassion amends R.S. 17:3703(M) to enhance the confidentiality of documents related to intercollegiate athletics revenue sharing programs. The bill specifies that any document disclosed by an intercollegiate athlete to their postsecondary education institution regarding the terms and conditions of their compensation contract will be confidential and exempt from public records inspection. Additionally, it introduces a new provision stating that any documents created during the negotiation process of agreements with intercollegiate athletes as part of a revenue sharing program will also be considered confidential and not subject to public records laws.

The proposed law retains existing confidentiality protections for documents related to an athlete's compensation contract while expanding these protections to include negotiation-related documents. This change aims to safeguard the privacy of intercollegiate athletes and the sensitive nature of their agreements with educational institutions.
