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.
