Summary

The bill directs Nebraska's State Board of Education to create a model policy on name, image and likeness (NIL) rights for high‑school athletes, and then requires each school district to adopt a matching policy. It permits students to receive compensation for using their name, image or likeness without losing eligibility, but bans activities that use school trademarks, occur during school hours, or promote prohibited products. Schools must set up a disclosure and review process, with possible temporary ineligibility for violations, and provide education on NIL and tax issues.
