Bill > A06065

This bill amends the New York General Business Law by adding a new section requiring the state commission overseeing combative sports to establish parameters for weigh-ins that mandate all amateur and professional participants must be weighed in on the same day as their combative sports event. The term "combative sports" likely refers to competitive fighting disciplines such as boxing, mixed martial arts, or similar combat-based athletic competitions. The bill specifies that while the commission has flexibility in setting specific weigh-in guidelines, they must ensure that the weigh-in occurs on the day of the event. The legislation will take effect 90 days after becoming law, with provisions allowing regulatory authorities to prepare necessary rules and regulations in advance of the effective date. The primary purpose appears to be standardizing and ensuring same-day weight verification for athletes participating in combat sports events.
