A bill advancing at the state capitol could significantly change high school sports across Georgia.
It would allow student-athletes to earn money from their name, image and likeness, or NIL.
House Bill 383, known as the Georgia High School NIL Protection Act, passed unanimously out of the House Education Policy and Innovation Subcommittee on Tuesday.
Supporters say the legislation would place guardrails around a system that already exists, while critics warn it could expose young athletes to pressure and exploitation.
