submitted 30 years ago by Pub. L. 104-272 to r/title-15-COMMERCE-AND-TRADE · 269 words · no verdicts yet
Professional boxers must register with the proper State boxing commission, carry a renewed identification card, and receive health-and-safety information.
(a) Each boxer* must register with the boxing commission* of the State* where the boxer lives. A boxer who lives in a foreign country, or in a State without a boxing commission, must register with the commission of any State that has one. (b)(1) The commission must issue each properly registered professional boxer an identification card containing: (A) a recent photograph; (B) the boxer's Social Security number, or for a foreign boxer a similar citizen-identification or professional-boxer number from the country of residence; and (C) a personal identification number assigned by a boxing registry. (2) The boxer must renew the card at least every 4 years. (3) The boxer must show it to the proper commission no later than weigh-in for a professional match. (c) Congress states that a commission should give a boxer an appropriate health-and-safety disclosure when issuing the card. It should cover boxing's health and safety risks, especially the risk and frequency of brain injury and the advisability of periodic medical procedures to detect brain injury.
Each boxer* shall register with—
the boxing commission* of the State* in which such boxer resides; or
in the case of a boxer who is a resident of a foreign country, or a State in which there is no boxing commission, the boxing commission of any State that has such a commission.
A boxing commission shall issue to each professional boxer who registers in accordance with subsection (a), an identification card that contains each of the following:
A recent photograph of the boxer.
The social security number of the boxer (or, in the case of a foreign boxer, any similar citizen identification number or professional boxer number from the country of residence of the boxer).
A personal identification number assigned to the boxer by a boxing registry.
Each professional boxer shall renew his or her identification card at least once every 4 years.
Each professional boxer shall present his or her identification card to the appropriate boxing commission not later than the time of the weigh-in for a professional boxing match*.
It is the sense of the Congress that a boxing commission should, upon issuing an identification card to a boxer under subsection (b)(1), make a health and safety disclosure to that boxer as that commission considers appropriate. The health and safety disclosure should include the health and safety risks associated with boxing, and, in particular, the risk and frequency of brain injury and the advisability that a boxer periodically undergo medical procedures designed to detect brain injury.
