House Concurrent Resolution No. 168 addresses technical errors found in House Bill No. 126, which has been approved by both the Texas House of Representatives and the Senate. The resolution instructs the enrolling clerk of the House to make specific corrections to the bill's text to ensure accuracy. These corrections include modifications to the language in Section 1 of the bill, particularly regarding the provisions related to prospective student athletes and their ability to enter into arrangements concerning their name, image, or likeness.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of these corrections to maintain the integrity of the legislation as it moves forward in the enrollment process. The changes aim to clarify the stipulations surrounding the eligibility of individuals and organizations to engage with student athletes under the age of 17 who are not enrolled in higher education institutions. The resolution was adopted unanimously by both legislative chambers, reflecting a consensus on the need for these amendments.
