This Amendment does the following: (1) Extends the grace period for acting as an athlete agent in this State without being registered in this State to 14 days. This means the athlete agent must submit an application for registration as an athlete agent in this State within 14 days of the initial act. (2) Requires an athlete agent seeking reciprocal registration based on their registration in another state to complete an application for registration and submit a copy of the record of registration from the other state to better accommodate the Division of Professional Regulation’s ("Division") electronic licensing and registration system. (3) Makes conforming changes to the renewal of a reciprocal registration process. (4) Provides for a stagnant biennial registration and renewal period for athlete agent registration. (5) Removes the authority for the Secretary of State (“Secretary”) to issue a temporary registration as this is unnecessary given the extension of the grace period under paragraph (1). (6) Makes conforming changes to the Code section numbering based on the removal of the Secretary’s authority to issue temporary registrations. (7) Removes provisions requiring the Secretary to set certain fees, but retains the Secretary’s general authority to set fees for applications for registration or renewal of registration both in this State and based on a registration in another state. (8) Extends the effective date of this Act to July 1, 2023, to provide the Division sufficient time to ensure the Division’s ability to implement this Act, including upgrades to its electronic licensing and registration system.
