NIL Compensation Records FOIA Amendments

The South Carolina General Assembly overrode Governor Henry McMaster's veto to enact H4902, amending Section 59-158-50 of state law regarding NIL compensation for intercollegiate athletes. The bill removes a disclosure exemption for NIL contract documentation and makes aggregate athletics revenue-sharing records subject to the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act. Individual athlete payments, sport-specific allocations, and negotiation records remain exempt from disclosure.
