Comment

Most of the requirements for disclosure in an application for registration found in subsection (a) [Maine cite subsection 1] are similar to requirements imposed by existing acts. Subsection (a)(6) [Maine cite subsection 1, paragraph F] is not intended to cause an athlete agent who is also an attorney to violate the attorney-client privilege. If an attorney's role is limited to providing legal services to a student athlete, the attorney is not required to register as an athlete agent or comply with this act. An attorney's actions as an athlete agent, however, are outside the scope of legal services, there is no privilege and the attorney must comply with this act.
