After many hours of work, Sports Agent Blog has completed a compilation of Athlete Agent Laws in the United States. Findings were cross-checked with multiple sources. In the occasion that a piece of information seems vague, it is simply because the state itself does not provide a concise accounting of what the law is (part of the problem in the current landscape of athlete agent regulation).

Items included in the document:

State
Whether it is a UAAA state
Statute Name
Statute Numbers
Cost to Register
Cost to Renew
How Often to Renew
Additional Costs
Link to Athlete Agent Law/Active Legislation
