Kan. Admin. Regs. § 128-2-13

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 49, December 5, 2024

Section 128-2-13 - Permits

(a) Each promoter shall obtain from the commission a separate permit for each regulated sport contest for which the promoter is responsible. Each promoter shall meet the following requirements for each request for a permit:

(1) The permit application shall be submitted on a form provided by the commission.

(2) The promoter shall submit the following fee or fees, as applicable, with the permit application, including the following:

(A) For a permit for a contest, $40.00 for each day of the contest and $150.00 for each inspector assigned to the contest. The boxing commissioner shall determine the number of inspectors required for each contest;

(B) for a permit for a professional wrestling performance, $175.00 for each day of the performance; or

(C) for a permit for brazilian jiujitsu, grappling submission wrestling, or pankration, $175.00 for each day of the event.

(3) The promoter shall submit with the application a surety bond in the amount of $10,000 to guarantee payment of all state athletic fees due to the commission and any unpaid amounts owed to officials and contestants, including medical expenses and the purse.

(4) An additional bond may be required in an amount specified by the commission if it is reasonable to expect that the original bond will not provide sufficient liability protection to the commission, officials, and contestants.

(5) The promoter shall submit with the permit application a policy of accident insurance on each contestant participating in the event in the amount of $10,000 to compensate the contestant for any medical and hospital expenses incurred as the result of injuries received in the event. The premiums on the policies shall be paid by the promoter. The terms of the insurance coverage shall not require the contestant to pay a deductible for any medical, surgical, or hospital care for any injuries that the contestant sustains while engaged in an event. A professional contestant who enters into a contract with a promoter may, if approved by the boxing commissioner, contract to pay any medical expenses, including deductibles, coinsurance, co-pays, and out-of-pocket costs.

(6)

(A) The promoter of a professional wrestling performance shall provide documentation indicating that a physician or other emergency medical provider certified by the board of emergency medical services or the board of nursing will be present at the performance.

(B) The promoter of a contest shall provide documentation indicating that medical personnel will be present at the contest pursuant to K.A.R. 128-4-6.

(7) The request for a permit shall be received by the commission no later than 30 days before the date of the event. Each request for a permit received less than 30 days but more than 14 days before the date of the event shall be accompanied by a late fee of $60. Each request for a professional wrestling performance permit received less than 14 days before the date of the event shall be accompanied by a late fee of $100.

(b) If the commission receives more than one request for a permit for the same date, a permit for both events may be issued by the commission if each application is complete and the commission deems it to be in the best interest of the commission to issue more than one permit. Factors considered by the commission in making the determination shall include the geographic locations of the proposed events and the availability of the commission staff and officials. If the commission is unable to regulate more than one event, a permit shall be issued to the first applicant that submits a complete application.

(c) Any application for a permit may be approved or denied by the commission or may be issued with limitations, restrictions, or conditions as stipulated by the commission. Permits for the following types of contests shall not be approved by the commission:

(1) Contests with any bouts between members of the opposite sex;

(2) contests with any bouts between contestants and nonhumans; and

(3) contests with any bouts using weapons.

(d) Each promoter shall have an approved permit before any publicity is issued on the contest or professional wrestling performance. Violation of this provision shall be grounds for the nonissuance of permits. The promoter may be subject to disciplinary action, pursuant to K.S.A. 2013 Supp. 74-50,193 and 74-50,197 and amendments thereto.

(e) The promoter shall notify the commission if the event is to be televised or otherwise broadcast. The promoter shall provide a copy of the contract no later than 10 days before the event.

(f) No promoter may serve in any capacity at any event for which the commission has denied or revoked a permit or for which a permit has not been issued. If a promoter serves in any capacity at an event without a permit for that contest or performance, the promoter's license may be revoked or indefinitely suspended. The promoter may be subject to action, pursuant to K.S.A. 2013 Supp. 74-50,193 and 74-50,197 and amendments thereto.

(g) No event shall be held until the commission has approved the application and the date for the program.

(h) If the promoter cancels the event within 24 hours before weigh-in, the application fee shall be forfeited. The fee may be applied to a subsequent event if the subsequent event is scheduled to be held within 30 days of the originally scheduled event.

(i) The promoter may select the announcer for an event.

(j) All judges, referees, and timekeepers for the event shall be selected and approved by the boxing commissioner.

(k) If the permit is revoked, no refund for the permit shall be issued by the commission.

This regulation shall be effective on and after October 1, 2014.
