HJ 239 Study; commercial promotional activities in high schools.
Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Study; commercial promotional activities in high schools. Establishes the Joint Subcommittee to Study Commercial Promotional Activities in High Schools. This resolution notes the growth and emphases on athletics in secondary schools, including middle schools, and the pressure on public school athletes to perform well. The difficult situations that have occurred in some other states are acknowledged, and the hope that Virginia will avoid these situations is expressed. The 14-member joint subcommittee is directed to examine the legal and ethical issues related to athletic apparel companies and other companies providing gifts to schools and individuals as a quid pro quo for some advertising benefit, such as displaying the logo on school property or having a team or teams wear the company's apparel. The joint subcommittee must also study disclosure issues, player eligibility issues, parental rights issues, school finance considerations, contract issues, and the benefits and drawbacks of advertising displays.
