Description

Under existing law, the Alabama Boxing Commission regulates professional boxing. The term "mixed martial arts" is not defined in the law

This bill would rename the Alabama Boxing Commission the Alabama Athletic Commission

This bill would define the term "mixed martial arts" for the purpose of regulation by the commission and would provide for the commission to regulate mixed martial arts in the same manner as boxing. The bill would delete certain definitions relating to ticket prices and sales which are not applicable in the law

Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 111.05 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, prohibits a general law whose purpose or effect would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds from becoming effective with regard to a local governmental entity without enactment by a 2/3 vote unless: it comes within one of a number of specified exceptions; it is approved by the affected entity; or the Legislature appropriates funds, or provides a local source of revenue, to the entity for the purpose

The purpose or effect of this bill would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of the amendment. However, the bill does not require approval of a local governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to become effective because it comes within one of the specified exceptions contained in the amendment

To amend Sections 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 of Act 2009-622, 2009 Regular Session (Acts 2009, p. 1872), now appearing as Sections 41-9-1020, 41-9-1021, 41-9-1023, 41-9-1024, 41-9-1028, 41-9-1029, 41-9-1030, 41-9-1032, 41-9-1033, 41-9-1034, 41-9-1035, 41-9-1036, 41-9-1037, 41-9-1038, 41-9-1039, and 41-9-1040, Code of Alabama 1975, establishing the Alabama Boxing Commission for the regulation of boxing, to rename the commission the Alabama Athletic Commission, to define the term "mixed martial arts"; to provide for the commission to regulate mixed martial arts in the same manner as boxing; to provide penalties; and in connection therewith would have as its purpose or effect the requirement of a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 111.05 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended.
