LRB9211384WHmb
1 AN ACT in relation to professional boxing.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 1. Continuation; validation.
5 (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
6 (1) Section 4.12 of the Regulatory Sunset Act
7 provided for the repeal of the Professional Boxing and
8 Wrestling Act on December 31, 2001.
9 (2) House Bill 2565 of the 92nd General Assembly
10 included a provision that amended the Regulatory Sunset
11 Act by deleting the provision that repealed the
12 Professional Boxing and Wrestling Act on December 31,
13 2001. It was the intent of the General Assembly to amend
14 the Regulatory Sunset Act to provide for the repeal of
15 the Professional Boxing Act on January 1, 2012, as well
16 as to amend the Professional Boxing and Wrestling Act by
17 changing the short title of the Act to the Professional
18 Boxing Act and changing various provisions of that Act.
19 House Bill 2565 was approved by the Governor on December
20 18, 2001 and took effect on January 1, 2002. House Bill
21 2565 became Public Act 92-499.
22 (3) The Statute on Statutes sets forth general
23 rules on the repeal of statutes, but Section 1 of that
24 Act also states that these rules will not be observed
25 when the result would be "inconsistent with the manifest
26 intent of the General Assembly or repugnant to the
27 context of the statute".
28 (4) The actions of the General Assembly clearly
29 manifest the intention of the General Assembly to change
30 the repeal date of the Professional Boxing Act, formerly
31 the Professional Boxing and Wrestling Act, to January 1,
32 2012. Any construction of Public Act 92-499 that results
-2- LRB9211384WHmb
1 in the repeal of the Professional Boxing and Wrestling
2 Act on December 31, 2001 would be inconsistent with the
3 manifest intent of the General Assembly.
4 (b) It is hereby declared to have been the intent of the
5 General Assembly, in enacting Public Act 92-499, that the
6 Regulatory Sunset Act be changed to make January 1, 2012 the
7 repeal date of the Professional Boxing Act, formerly the
8 Professional Boxing and Wrestling Act, and that the
9 Professional Boxing and Wrestling Act therefore not be
10 subject to repeal on December 31, 2001.
11 (c) The Professional Boxing Act, formerly the
12 Professional Boxing and Wrestling Act, is deemed to have been
13 in continuous effect since its original effective date, and
14 it shall continue to be in effect until it is otherwise
15 repealed.
16 (d) All otherwise lawful actions taken in reliance on or
17 pursuant to the Professional Boxing Act, formerly the
18 Professional Boxing and Wrestling Act, before the effective
19 date of this Act by any officer or agency of State government
20 or any other person or entity are validated.
21 (e) To ensure the continuing effectiveness of the
22 Professional Boxing Act, formerly the Professional Boxing and
23 Wrestling Act, it is set forth in full and re-enacted by this
24 Act. This re-enactment is intended as a continuation of the
25 Professional Boxing Act, formerly the Professional Boxing and
26 Wrestling Act. It is not intended to supersede any amendment
27 to the Professional Boxing Act, formerly the Professional
28 Boxing and Wrestling Act, that is enacted by the General
29 Assembly. This Act also amends relevant provisions of the
30 Regulatory Sunset Act to make January 1, 2012 the repeal date
31 of the Professional Boxing Act.
32 (f) This Act applies to all claims, actions, and
33 proceedings pending on or filed on, before, or after the
34 effective date of this Act.

31 (225 ILCS 105/7.5)
-8- LRB9211384WHmb
1 (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2012)
2 Sec. 7.5. Ultimate fighting exhibitions.
3 (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
4 (1) The entertainment spectacle commonly known as
5 "ultimate fighting" is a violent exhibition that is
6 excessively and unacceptably dangerous to the
7 participants. "Ultimate fighting" includes exhibitions
8 of the same nature even though a different name is
9 applied to this event.
10 (2) Unlike the sports of boxing and wrestling, in
11 which serious or permanent injury is largely preventable
12 and occurs only occasionally as an incidental result of
13 the athletic contest, ultimate fighting is intended by
14 its promoters to produce serious injury in every
15 exhibition and is widely and specifically advertised and
16 promoted as being the most dangerous of all fighting
17 exhibitions.
18 (3) The lack of appropriate restrictions on
19 dangerous blows or life-threatening maneuvers and the
20 matching of participants with incompatible styles of
21 fighting make it difficult or impossible for the State to
22 regulate ultimate fighting in a way that can reasonably
23 protect the safety of the participants.
24 (4) It is therefore an appropriate exercise of the
25 police power of the State and necessary for the public
26 safety and the common good to prohibit ultimate fighting
27 exhibitions in this State.
28 (b) The Department, in consultation with the State
29 Boxing and Wrestling Board, shall adopt rules defining the
30 term "ultimate fighting exhibition" and distinguishing such
31 exhibitions from the legitimate boxing and wrestling contests
32 permitted under this Act and the exhibitions or contests of
33 the martial arts and other sports that are traditionally
34 conducted with respect for the safety and protection of the
-9- LRB9211384WHmb
1 participants.
2 (c) No person may hold, promote, or participate in any
3 ultimate fighting exhibition in this State.

5 (225 ILCS 105/8) (from Ch. 111, par. 5008)
6 (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2012)
7 Sec. 8. Permits.
8 (a) A promoter who desires to obtain a permit to conduct
9 a boxing contest shall apply to the Department at least 20
10 days prior to the event, in writing, on forms furnished by
11 the Department. The application shall be accompanied by the
12 required fee and shall contain at least the following
13 information:
14 (1) the names and addresses of the promoter;
15 (2) the name of the matchmaker;
16 (3) the time and exact location of the boxing
17 contest;
18 (4) the seating capacity of the building where the
19 event is to be held;
20 (5) a copy of the lease or proof of ownership of
21 the building where the event is to be held;
22 (6) the admission charge or charges to be made; and
23 (7) proof of adequate security measures and
24 adequate medical supervision, as determined by Department
25 rule, to ensure the protection of the health and safety
26 of the general public while attending boxing contests and
27 the contestants' safety while participating in the events
28 and any other information that the Department may
29 determine by rule in order to issue a permit.
30 (b) After the initial application and within 10 days of
31 a scheduled event, a promoter shall submit to the Department
32 all of the following information:
33 (1) The amount of compensation to be paid to each
-10- LRB9211384WHmb
1 participant.
2 (2) The names of the contestants.
3 (3) Proof of insurance for not less than $10,000
4 for each contestant participating in a boxing contest or
5 exhibition.
6 Insurance required under this subsection shall cover (i)
7 hospital, medication, physician, and other such expenses as
8 would accrue in the treatment of an injury as a result of the
9 boxing contest or exhibition and (ii) payment to the estate
10 of the contestant in the event of his or her death as a
11 result of his or her participation in the boxing contest or
12 exhibition.
13 (c) All boxing promoters shall provide to the
14 Department, at least 24 hours prior to commencement of the
15 event, the amount of the purse to be paid for the event. The
16 Department shall promulgate rules for payment of the purse.
17 (d) The boxing contest shall be held in an area where
18 adequate neurosurgical facilities are immediately available
19 for skilled emergency treatment of an injured boxer. It is
20 the responsibility of the promoter to ensure that the
21 building to be used for the event complies with all laws,
22 ordinances, and regulations in the city, town, or village
23 where the boxing contest is to be held. The Department may
24 issue a permit to any promoter who meets the requirements of
25 this Act and the rules. The permit shall only be issued for a
26 specific date and location of a boxing contest and shall not
27 be transferable. In an emergency, the Department may allow a
28 promoter to amend a permit application to hold a boxing
29 contest in a different location than the application
30 specifies and may allow the promoter to substitute
31 contestants.
32 (e) The Department shall be responsible for assigning
33 the judge, timekeepers, referees, physician, and medical
34 personnel for a boxing contest. It shall be the
-11- LRB9211384WHmb
1 responsibility of the promoter to cover the cost of the
2 individuals utilized at a boxing contest.

7 in boxing contests the following persons must each be
8 licensed and in good standing with the Department: (a)
9 promoters, (b) contestants, (c) seconds, (d) referees, (e)
10 judges, (f) managers, (g) matchmakers, and (h) timekeepers.
11 Announcers may participate in boxing contests without
12 being licensed under this Act. It shall be the
13 responsibility of the promoter to ensure that announcers
14 comply with the Act, and all rules and regulations
15 promulgated pursuant to this Act.
16 A licensed promoter may not act as, and cannot be
17 licensed as, a second, boxer, referee, timekeeper, judge, or
18 manager. If he or she is so licensed, he or she must
19 relinquish any of these licenses to the Department for
20 cancellation. A person possessing a valid promoter's license
21 may act as a matchmaker.

24 (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2012)
25 Sec. 10.5. Unlicensed practice; violation; civil
26 penalty.
27 (a) Any person who practices, offers to practice,
28 attempts to practice, or holds oneself out to practice as a
29 promoter, professional boxer, contestant, second, referee,
30 judge, manager, matchmaker, or timekeeper without being
31 licensed under this Act shall, in addition to any other
32 penalty provided by law, pay a civil penalty to the

11 Sec. 12. Boxing contests. Each boxing contestant shall
12 be examined before entering the ring and immediately after
13 each contest by a physician licensed to practice medicine in
14 all of its branches. The physician shall determine, prior to
15 the contest, if each contestant is physically fit to engage
16 in the contest. After the contest the physician shall examine
17 the contestant to determine possible injury. If the
18 contestant's physical condition so indicates, the physician
19 shall recommend to the Department immediate medical
20 suspension. The physician may, at any time during the
21 contest, stop the contest to examine a boxer, and terminate
22 the contest when, in the physician's opinion, continuing the
23 contest could result in serious injury to the boxer. The
24 physician shall certify to the condition of the contestant in
25 writing, over his signature on blank forms provided by the
26 Department. Such reports shall be submitted to the Department
27 in a timely manner. The physician shall be paid by the

2 rounds shall not be more than 3 minutes each with a one
3 minute interval between them, and no boxer shall be allowed
4 to participate in more than 12 rounds within 72 consecutive
5 hours. At each boxing contest there shall be a referee in
6 attendance who shall direct and control the contest. The
7 referee, before each contest, shall learn the name of the
8 contestant's chief second and shall hold the chief second
9 responsible for the conduct of his assistant during the
10 progress of the contest.
11 There shall be 2 judges in attendance who shall render a
12 decision at the end of each contest. The decision of the
13 judges, taken together with the decision of the referee, is
14 final; or, 3 judges shall score the contest with the referee
15 not scoring. The method of scoring shall be set forth in
16 rules.
17 Judges, referees, or timekeepers for contests shall be
18 assigned by the Department. The Department or its
19 representative shall have discretion to declare a price,
20 remuneration, or purse or any part of it belonging to the
21 contestant withheld if in the judgment of the Department or
22 its representative the contestant is not honestly competing.
23 The Department shall have the authority to prevent a contest
24 or exhibition from being held and shall have the authority to
25 stop a fight for noncompliance with any part of this Act or
26 rules or when, in the judgment of the Department, or its

34 (b) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee
-20- LRB9211384WHmb
1 is subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission as
2 provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
3 Code operates as an automatic suspension. The suspension will
4 end only upon a finding by a court that the licensee is no
5 longer subject to involuntary admission or judicial
6 admission, issuance of an order so finding and discharging
7 the licensee, and upon the recommendation of the Board to the
8 Director that the licensee be allowed to resume his or her
9 practice.
10 (c) In enforcing this Section, the Board, upon a showing
11 of a possible violation, may compel any individual licensed
12 to practice under this Act, or who has applied for licensure
13 pursuant to this Act, to submit to a mental or physical
14 examination, or both, as required by and at the expense of
15 the Department. The examining physicians or clinical
16 psychologists shall be those specifically designated by the
17 Board. The Board or the Department may order the examining
18 physician or clinical psychologist to present testimony
19 concerning this mental or physical examination of the
20 licensee or applicant. No information shall be excluded by
21 reason of any common law or statutory privilege relating to
22 communications between the licensee or applicant and the
23 examining physician or clinical psychologist. Eye
24 examinations may be provided by a licensed and certified
25 therapeutic optometrist. The individual to be examined may
26 have, at his or her own expense, another physician of his or
27 her choice present during all aspects of the examination.
28 Failure of any individual to submit to a mental or physical
29 examination, when directed, shall be grounds for suspension
30 of a license until such time as the individual submits to the
31 examination if the Board finds, after notice and hearing,
32 that the refusal to submit to the examination was without
33 reasonable cause.
34 (d) If the Board finds an individual unable to practice
-21- LRB9211384WHmb
1 because of the reasons set forth in this Section, the Board
2 shall require the individual to submit to care, counseling,
3 or treatment by physicians or clinical psychologists approved
4 or designated by the Board, as a condition, term, or
5 restriction for continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure,
6 or in lieu of care, counseling, or treatment, the Board may
7 recommend to the Department to file a complaint to
8 immediately suspend, revoke, or otherwise discipline the
9 license of the individual. Any individual whose license was
10 granted pursuant to this Act, or continued, reinstated,
11 renewed, disciplined, or supervised, subject to such
12 conditions, terms, or restrictions, who shall fail to comply
13 with such conditions, terms, or restrictions, shall be
14 referred to the Director for a determination as to whether
15 the individual shall have his or her license suspended
16 immediately, pending a hearing by the Board.

31 or any person holding or claiming to hold a license. The
-24- LRB9211384WHmb

2 probation, reprimanding, or taking any other disciplinary
3 action under this Act, at least 30 days before the date set
4 for the hearing, (i) notify the accused in writing of the
5 charges made and the time and place for the hearing on the
6 charges, (ii) direct him or her to file a written answer to
7 the charges with the Board under oath within 20 days after
8 the service on him or her of the notice, and (iii) inform the

10 taken against him or her or that his or her license may be
11 suspended, revoked, or placed on probationary status or that
12 other disciplinary action may be taken with regard to the
13 license, including limiting the scope, nature, or extent of
14 his or her practice, as the Department may consider proper.
15 At the time and place fixed in the notice, the Board shall
16 proceed to hear the charges, and the parties or their counsel

1 Sec. 19. Findings and recommendations. At the conclusion
2 of the hearing, the Board shall present to the Director a
3 written report of its findings, conclusions of law, and
4 recommendations. The report shall contain a finding of
5 whether the accused person violated this Act or its rules or
6 failed to comply with the conditions required in this Act or
7 its rules. The Board shall specify the nature of any
8 violations or failure to comply and shall make its
9 recommendations to the Director. In making recommendations
10 for any disciplinary actions, the Board may take into
11 consideration all facts and circumstances bearing upon the
12 reasonableness of the conduct of the accused and the
13 potential for future harm to the public including, but not
14 limited to, previous discipline of the accused by the
15 Department, intent, degree of harm to the public and
16 likelihood of harm in the future, any restitution made by the
17 accused, and whether the incident or incidents contained in
18 the complaint appear to be isolated or represent a continuing
19 pattern of conduct. In making its recommendations for
20 discipline, the Board shall endeavor to ensure that the
21 severity of the discipline recommended is reasonably related
22 to the severity of the violation.
23 The report of findings of fact, conclusions of law, and
24 recommendation of the Board shall be the basis for the
25 Department's order refusing to issue, restore, or renew a
26 license, or otherwise disciplining a licensee. If the
27 Director disagrees with the recommendations of the Board, the
28 Director may issue an order in contravention of the Board
29 recommendations. The Director shall provide a written report
30 to the Board on any disagreement and shall specify the
31 reasons for the action in the final order. The finding is not
32 admissible in evidence against the person in a criminal
33 prosecution brought for a violation of this Act, but the
34 hearing and finding are not a bar to a criminal prosecution

10 hearing officer has full authority to conduct the hearing.

16 recommendations to the Director. If the Board fails to
17 present its report within the 60 day period, the Director may

19 If the Director determines that the Board's report is
20 contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence, he may issue

23 deviation and shall specify the reasons for the action in the
