Summary
Boxing and wrestling events; license requirements for examining physicians. Provides that a physician examining a boxer, martial artist, or professional wrestler prior to such athlete entering the ring must have held a license to practice medicine for at least three years in any jurisdiction of the United States and must be currently licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth. Current law requires such physician to have been licensed in the Commonwealth for at least five years. The bill also requires a promoter to furnish to the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, within two weeks following the completion of an event, a report showing (i) the number of tickets sold, unsold, and given away; (ii) the amount of gross proceeds; and (iii) the total gross receipts received from distribution rights of such event. Current law requires such report to be furnished to the Department within 24 hours of the completion of an event.
