Senate Bill 4 amends the Government Code to prohibit a governmental entity from entering into an agreement with a professional sports team that requires a financial commitment by the state or any governmental entity unless the agreement includes a written verification that the team will play the U.S. national anthem at the beginning of each team sporting event held at the team's home venue or other facility controlled by the team for the event and a provision providing that failure to comply with that written verification constitutes a default of the agreement, immediately subjects the team to any penalty the agreement authorizes for default, and may subject the team to debarment from state contracting.
