Bill > SB133

This bill amends Kentucky law to modify definitions and reporting requirements related to boxing and wrestling exhibitions. Specifically, the bill expands the definition of "exhibition" to include public shows that require an admission ticket and are not sanctioned by specific athletic organizations like the National Collegiate Athletic Association or USA Wrestling. The bill also updates regulations for sanctioning bodies, requiring all non-USA Boxing sanctioning organizations to be nonprofit and obtain recognition from the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Commission by meeting established administrative requirements. Additionally, the bill mandates that these sanctioning bodies must now provide notice to the Commission about any combat sports exhibitions not already covered under existing state law, ensuring that such events will be published in a calendar of events according to regulations the Commission will develop. These changes aim to provide greater oversight and transparency in combat sports events taking place in Kentucky by expanding the Commission's ability to track and regulate various types of exhibitions.
