RL Code - Amateur and professional boxing.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The proposed rules will have a minor economic impact on small businesses, as defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats. Proposed rules were reviewed by the department's Small Business Review Advisory Committee and the committee only made on suggestion. It pertained to fouls, as described above.
The authority granted to the department to assess professional clubs for the reasonable costs incurred by the department in providing a ringside physician and a referee for a professional show could increase some professional clubs' costs of putting on a show by a couple hundred dollars. Promoters now directly pay these boxing officials; however, the amount is left to the discretion of the promoter. Since the new federal law will prohibit professional clubs from paying boxing officials, the department plans to contract with boxing officials and pay them a standard amount for all shows in the state. The proposed rule is permissive.
The fees for licensing seconds who assist boxers at professional shows would probably not exceed $110 per year. Seconds, not professional clubs, would pay this license fee.
