Boulder Daily Camera: A bill that would allow the University of Colorado and other in-state institutions to provide financial compensation for student-athletes cleared another hurdle on Tuesday.

House Bill 1041 on student-athlete name, image and likeness (NIL) was adopted by the Colorado House of Representatives on Tuesday by a vote a 59-5.

The bill, which was co-sponsored by Rep. Lesley Smith, a former CU-Boulder regent, still needs to be passed by the Senate before going to Gov. Jared Polis for final approval to become a law. Senators Judy Amabile and James Coleman also sponsored the bill.
