What it does
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. This bill relates to the regulation of boxing, mixed martial arts, and wrestling under Code chapter 90A. Such regulation is carried out by the state commissioner of athletics, who is also the labor commissioner. The bill revises the definition of “promoter” to specify that a promoter includes a person or business that organizes, holds, advertises, or otherwise conducts any form of competition in which a blow is usually struck, or a maneuver is usually executed, which may reasonably be expected to inflict injury, but does not include the organizer of a private youth martial arts tournament, private test for martial arts belts, developmental contests within private gyms, amateur wrestling, jiu jitsu, or amateur boxing.
