This law section in California says that if you're under 18, you can't compete in professional matches, but you can take part in amateur contests if the commission approves it. The commission is also in charge of overseeing any full-contact martial arts contests where participants are 18 or under.

If you're buying a ticket to an event or exhibition, the ticket must clearly show how much it costs on the front. Also, the ticket must have its unique number printed on both ends. You shouldn't be charged more than the price printed on the ticket.

If you're a professional fighter licensed in California, you need to be paid at least $200 for every round you fight. However, the commission has the authority to increase this minimum amount if they decide to.

In every sports contest organized by a promoter, they must hire a commission-approved doctor with at least three years of medical experience to examine the athletes and monitor their health during the event. The promoter pays the doctor's fees to the commission, which then passes the payment to the doctor.

This section states that the commission is responsible for creating specific rules that outline how a licensed physician can be approved under a particular section of the law.

This law requires a physician to examine a contest participant, like a boxer or fighter, to make sure they're physically fit before they can compete. The examination must happen no more than 30 hours before the event, at the weigh-in. It includes checking medical records and a questionnaire about the participant's health history, such as weight changes, neurological issues, pregnancy, or heart problems. If any serious condition is found, a more thorough examination by the physician or the participant's personal doctor is needed to ensure health safety. On the day of the event, a quick reexamination is conducted an hour before the fight to update their health status. The physician must file a report on these examinations, especially noting the contestant's heart and brain conditions, within 24 hours after the event.

This law allows a physician present at a sports contest or match to stop the event if a participant has a medically related injury or if there's a concern about their physical condition, sharing this decision-making power with the referee.

If a licensed fighter, whether professional or amateur, needs urgent medical treatment during an event, the ambulance at the venue must promptly take them to a trauma center as instructed by the ringside doctor.

This law allows a commission to require a licensed professional to undergo a special medical examination. The cost of the exam is split equally between the commission and the professional.

This section requires professional athletes seeking a license to undergo health exams by a specialized doctor, usually every year. These exams, which can include neurological tests, brain scans, and EKGs, are to check for any health risks that could cause serious injury. A doctor can suggest further testing if needed, and the Commission decides whether to grant or renew a license based on these results. If the athlete had similar tests out of state or within the past year, they might not need to retake them unless there are concerns. Medical records are confidential but can be shared with other licensing authorities or used for research if consent is given. The costs for these exams are covered by assessments on promoters, managers, or the athletes themselves. Funds collected are used for neurological exams and new tests, with some designated for special purposes.

If you want to get or renew a license as a professional boxer or martial arts fighter in California, you need to show proof of a negative test for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. This test must be done at a certified U.S. lab within 30 days before you apply, and then again if you're fighting after 180 days since the last test. Your medical information, including test results, is kept confidential. If your license is denied or revoked due to these medical tests, the reason given will only say it's for medical reasons. You have the right to appeal this decision, and you can request a private hearing within 30 days of being notified.

This law allows a commission in charge of boxing and martial arts to organize meetings with licensed doctors to study and recommend safety and medical standards. It also permits the commission to cover travel costs and daily expenses for doctors attending these meetings.

This law says that boxing matches can't have more than 12 rounds, with each round lasting up to three minutes. Championship matches can be longer, up to 15 rounds, but only if they get written approval from a specific commission.

This law allows a commission to set rules about how often boxers can fight in matches to ensure their safety and well-being.

This law requires that all gloves used in professional and amateur boxing matches get approval from the commission, and they must meet certain safety standards. The gloves should be designed so the thumb is attached to prevent injury, and the padding inside should be spread out evenly over the knuckles and back of the hands. Additionally, the padding should use the best available materials and technology to minimize injuries from repeated punches.

This rule states that all boxing matches, both professional and amateur, must take place on a specific type of ring floor and padding. The ring floor needs to be made of 1.25-inch thick plywood, and the padding should be 1.75 inches thick, made from special foam combined with PVC for durability and safety.

This law allows the commission to set rules about the weight of gloves, equipment standards, safety procedures, and how long rounds last, ensuring contestants' health and safety during events.

This law says that the commission in charge of regulating contests is responsible for setting the rules about weight categories and classifications for contestants.

This law says that a referee must be present at all boxing matches to oversee and manage the event. The referee's job is to make sure that the rules set by the commission are followed during these contests.

Before a competition starts, the referee needs to know who each contestant's main assistant is and will hold this main assistant accountable for how the other assistants behave during the competition.

Additionally, judges might be required to work alongside the referee during boxing matches if the commission decides it's necessary.

This law gives boxing referees and officials, when they are doing their jobs as appointed by the commission, the same legal protections that public employees have. However, this doesn't change any existing rights or responsibilities that their regular employers may have with them, whether those employers are public or private.

If a boxer hits their opponent with an illegal punch, such as a rabbit punch or a punch to the kidneys, they will lose a point for each hit. The referee, or other officials if present, must decide if a violation happened at the end of the round, but before the next round starts. The referee will then notify both fighters, their managers, and the audience about the penalty. The referee can also make the break between rounds a bit longer if they need to.

This law allows the commission to make exceptions for championship boxing contests from the usual rules if they believe other rules can be used instead, as long as the safety of the boxers and the public is still protected.
