Trailblazing Legislation Allows College Athlete Compensation in Florida
Tallahassee, Fla., July 1, 2021 – Following Governor DeSantis signature on HB 845 that allows college athletes to be compensated for their name, image or likeness (NIL), today Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran was joined by Rep. Chip LaMarca and Florida State University quarterback McKenzie Milton, along with fellow teammates, as he signed a contract with Miller’s Ale House to be paid for the use of his NIL. Florida is one of the first states in the nation to allow student athletes to earn compensation for their NIL.

The House’s unemployment reform bill focuses only on improving the efficiency and capacity of the failed state’s unemployment system.
“So right, wrong or indifferent, the amount and the duration of benefits is not what this very good infrastructure bill is about. This bill fixes a broken system,” said House sponsor Representative Chip LaMarca.
