Amendments and history

HB 617's own sunset (O.C.G.A. § 20-3-683) ended it on the earlier of a federal law, a new NCAA NIL rule or June 30, 2025. Gov. Kemp's Sept. 17, 2024 executive order (no NCAA penalties for school-paid NIL; no state funds) ended when a House settlement took effect.

Verification note

Resolved from the Governor's office: HB 617 (2021) and the governor's 2024 executive order; the statute text and order support treating Georgia as having no operative state NIL law. AAL's contrary summary is not supported by those documents.
