The law inspired a wave of states across the country to take similar action to empower student athletes.
“California led the charge against the unjust power imbalance in college sports, launching a national movement and spurring long-overdue changes in this multibillion-dollar enterprise,” Gov. Newsom said Tuesday. “I’m proud to build on our leadership with today’s legislation to expand and protect our college athletes’ rights to reap the rewards from their sacrifices and success. I thank Senator Skinner and Senator Bradford for their tireless work to advance this fundamental matter of fairness and equity.”
Under SB 26, the Fair Pay to Play Act will take effect on Sept. 1, 2021, ahead of the original January 2023 implementation date.
This ensures that California students are protected under the Fair Pay to Play Act following new rule changes by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA, that allow colleges and universities to develop their own rules in states without name, image and likeness laws, or in states where laws are not yet in effect.
SB 26 also expands the Fair Pay to Play Act to California Community Colleges and allows athletes to identify what school they attend as part of promotional materials.
Gov. Newsom signed the Fair Pay to Play Act in 2019 alongside authors Sen. Skinner and Sen. Bradford, as well as NBA legend LeBron James, UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi, WNBA star Diana Taurasi, former UCLA basketball player Ed O’Bannon and Rich Paul.
SB 206 will allow all student athletes enrolled in public and private four-year colleges and universities in California to earn money from their name, image or likeness.
Student athletes will also be able to hire sports agents, and not lose their scholarships if they receive income for their work.
The law includes safeguards to prevent college athletes from signing endorsement deals that conflict with their school’s deal when they are participating in official team activities.

TLC is a partnership between Lake and Mendocino County Offices of Education, and previously operated as a satellite program of the North Coast School of Education.
“We are thrilled to be providing a local, high-quality educational opportunity for Lake and Mendocino county residents to earn their teaching credential,” said Lake County Superintendent of Schools Brock Falkenberg.
The TLC program offers a pathway for people with bachelor’s degrees to obtain their teaching credential in multiple subjects (elementary school) or mild/moderate special education.
“TLC develops teachers who are committed to the community and have the skills and perspectives necessary to support our kids,” Jamie Buckner-Bridges, director of Teach Lake County at the Lake County Office of Education said.
TLC is recruiting for its fifth cohort. This class of students will begin in January 2022.
"We've tried to solve the local teacher shortage by looking outward to recruit and train, and it hasn't been effective,” Buckner-Bridges said. “Teach Lake County provides a different approach. We are a local program, developed and led by local educators, that provides opportunities to local residents”
TLC’s mild/moderate special education credential is still operated through NCSE. TLC expects to receive its accreditation from CTC for the special education credential as soon as the State of California finalizes the new special education teaching credential curriculum requirements.
