Purpose of the Bill S. 275 would amend the Professional Boxing Safety Act of 1996 (15 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.), as amended by the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-210), to strengthen existing Federal boxing laws by standardizing certain health and safety requirements, establishing a centralized medical registry to be used by local boxing commissions to protect boxers, reducing arbitrary practices within the boxing industry, and providing uniformity in ranking criteria and contractual guidelines. The bill also would establish a Federal entity, the United States Boxing Administration (USBA), to promulgate minimum uniform standards for professional boxing and enforce Federal boxing laws. Background and Needs Professional boxing is the only major sport in the United States that does not have a strong, centralized association or league to establish and enforce uniform rules and practices. There is no widely-established union of boxers, no collective body of promoters or managers, and no consistent level of regulation among State or tribal athletic commissions. This vacuum of effective public or private oversight has contributed to decades of scandals, controversies, and unethical practices in professional boxing, in addition to gaps in health and safety protections for boxers. The professional boxing industry is regulated on a State-by- State basis, which results in varying degrees of oversight depending on the will and resources of each State or tribal organization's athletic commission or boxing regulatory office. Due to the lack of uniform business practices or ethical standards, the sport of boxing has suffered from the physical and financial exploitation of its athletes. Specific examples of business misconduct in boxing include: promoters deducting large percentages of a boxer's purse for their own use; promoters coercing boxers into signing long- term, onerous contracts as a condition for competing; promoters forcing boxers to hire an associate or relative of the promoter; and illegitimate ratings systems wherein sanctioning organizations rank boxers and award ``championship titles'' based on boxers' personal connections rather than win/loss records. Under the current system, business relationships between promoters and sanctioning organizations largely take precedence over the athletic merits of fighters. In 1996, the Professional Boxing Safety Act (PBSA) was enacted (P.L. 104-272). The PBSA was a bipartisan measure that sought to establish a minimum level of health and safety requirements to protect the welfare of professional boxers. Prior to the PBSA, while many States had boxing laws on the books, others did not require any public oversight of boxing, and the absence of enforcement of regulations resulted in fraudulent bouts, the exploitation of boxers, and a lack of adequate medical services at many events. The PBSA, among other things, requires State athletic commissions to oversee all professional boxing events; prohibits medically-suspended fighters from participating in boxing events; assures that States are aware if a fighter has been suspended in another State; requires adequate medical services to be available at ringside; and requires all boxers to be given an identification card issued by their State commission. The PBSA also includes a conflict-of-interest provision that prohibits State commissioners from receiving compensation from business interests in the industry. In 1998, Congress sought to further reform the professional boxing industry. The Senate passed another bipartisan measure, the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act (Muhammad Ali Act), but the House did not act on it. The legislation was reintroduced during the 106th Congress, approved by the House and Senate, and signed into law in May 2000 (P.L. 106-210). The Muhammad Ali Act is designed to protect the rights and welfare of professional boxers by preventing exploitative, oppressive, and unethical business practices; to assist State boxing commissions in providing more effective public oversight of the sport; and to promote honorable competition to enhance the overall integrity of the boxing industry. Unfortunately, both the PBSA (as amended by the Muhammad Ali Act) and State laws have not been adequately enforced by Federal and State law enforcement officials. The primary reasons for this lack of enforcement have been either a lack of resources in Federal and State budgets or simply a lack of interest. An area of particular concern with the professional boxing industry involves the role and conduct of sanctioning organizations. Rather than having a single, internationally- recognized ``Heavyweight Champion'', or ``Welterweight Champion'', etc., there arenow more than a half dozen such ``champions'' in each weight class as determined by a variety of boxing ratings organizations. The most prominent are the World Boxing Council (WBC), based in Mexico City; the World Boxing Association (WBA), based in Venezuela; the International Boxing Federation (IBF), based in New Jersey; and the World Boxing Union (WBU), based in England. Each of these organizations operates independently, and often their ratings are subjective judgments about the relative skills of boxers. In effect, they compete with one another, commonly ignoring the highly-rated boxer of a competing sanctioning body in order to promote their own ``champion'' and top contenders. Sanctioning organizations fund their activities by charging boxers 3-5 percent of their purse as a sanctioning fee. Sanctioning organizations are continuously criticized by members of the boxing industry, sportswriters, and boxing fans for diminishing the legitimacy of the title, ``world champion,'' and ranking boxers based on financial agreements rather than the skills of the fighters. These practices by sanctioning organizations often prevent boxing fans from seeing the best fighters compete in each weight division. The Muhammad Ali Act addressed this manipulation of ratings by requiring that sanctioning organizations annually disclose their ratings policies and bylaws by either posting the information on their websites or filing it with the Federal Trade Commission. Summary of Provisions S. 275 would amend the PBSA to: (1) establish and maintain a confidential (except for the use by boxing commissions) medical registry that contains comprehensive medical records and medical suspension information for every licensed professional boxer; (2) make uniform certain ``safety standards'' for all boxing commissions, including testing for infectious diseases (e.g., hepatitis) and the requirement that emergency medical personnel and an ambulance be continually present at all professional boxing matches; (3) require promoters to post some form of security (e.g., performance bond, cashiers check, etc.) with the appropriate boxing commission prior to a match to ensure payment of purse monies to boxers who participate and are contractually entitled to receive it; (4) make several changes to definitions, including modifying the term ``boxing commission'' to include tribal organizations, and the term ``promoter'' to include television service providers only if they are, in fact, functioning as promoters; (5) authorize tribal organizations to establish boxing commissions as long as a certain level of safety standards and other requirements are established; (6) mandate that sanctioning organizations adopt and follow ratings guidelines/criteria; (7) require that judges and referees be assigned for each match by the appropriate boxing commission without interference from sanctioning organizations; (8) require a newly-created regulatory entity, in consultation with the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC), to develop guidelines for minimal contractual provisions that should be included in all bout agreements and boxer/ manager contracts; and (9) require more stringent financial disclosures (within a specified period) by promoters and sanctioning organizations. S. 275 also would create the United States Boxing Administration (USBA), a Federal entity located within the Department of Labor, to regulate professional boxing. The USBA would be headed by an Administrator, appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. It also would have an Assistant Administrator and General Counsel. Additional staffing needs would be determined by the Administration. The USBA's primary functions would be to protect the health, safety, and general interests of boxers. The USBA, among other things, would oversee and administer Federal boxing laws, and work with those who participate in professional boxing to improve the sport. The USBA would promulgate minimum uniform standards for boxing (in consultation with the ABC and sanctioning organizations). The USBA also would ensure, through the U.S. Attorney General and the chief law enforcement officer of a State, that Federal and State boxing laws are vigorously, effectively, and fairly enforced. The USBA would require all boxers to be licensed every 4 years, as is currently required under the Federal Identification system, but also would require all promoters, managers, and sanctioning organizations to be licensed by the USBA every 2 years. The USBA would be authorized to charge reasonable fees for licensing and all fees and fines collected by the USBA would be deposited in a revolving fund to be used to offset the USBA's annual appropriation. After notice and opportunity for a hearing, the USBA would be permitted to suspend or revoke any license issued under the PBSA if it finds that an unlawful act has occurred, there are reasonable grounds to believe that a USBA standard is not being met, or action is necessary to protect the health or safety of a boxer. The USBA also would be granted authority to conduct investigations, issue subpoenas, administer oaths and affirmations, require the production of information, and seek injunctions to further the purposes of the PBSA. The USBA would maintain a unified national computerized registry for collecting, storing, and retrieving information related to professional boxing. The USBA would be required to consult with local boxing commissions before establishing any regulation or standard under the PBSA; local commissions would be required to meet USBA standards or exceed them. The USBA would be required to submit to Congress an annual report containing a detailed description of its activities, as well as progress made at Federal and State levels and on tribal lands to reform professional boxing. Legislative History On February 4, 2003, Senators McCain and Dorgan introduced S. 275, which was subsequently co-sponsored by Senator Stevens. The Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation held a full committee hearing on February 5, 2003, to examine what effect current Federal boxing law has had on the professional boxing industry and what, if anything, is necessary to further improve the sport and the enforcement of the law. The hearing also addressed the growing role of television service providers in the sport of professional boxing. Those who testified acknowledged that while such television companies sustain the sport and are necessary in that respect, they also may be at times acting as de facto promoters andshould be subject to the same requirements that other promoters must satisfy. Witnesses at the hearing included: Bernard Hopkins (Middleweight champion), Ross Greenburg (President, HBO Sports), Thomas Hauser (columnist and author), Bert Sugar (boxing historian and author), and Patrick Panella (Maryland Athletic Commission, who testified on behalf of the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC)). All who testified agreed that the strengthening of current boxing laws and a Federal regulatory entity to oversee the sport are needed. On March 13, 2003, the Committee met in open executive session to consider an amendment in the nature of a substitute to S. 275 offered by Senators McCain, Dorgan, and Stevens. The amendment was adopted, and the bill was ordered to be reported as amended, by voice vote. Estimated Costs In accordance with paragraph 11(a) of rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate and section 403 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee provides the following cost estimate, prepared by the Congressional Budget Office: U.S. Congress, Congressional Budget Office, Washington, DC, March 21, 2003. Hon. John McCain, Chairman, Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, U.S. Senate, Washington, DC. Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has prepared the enclosed estimate of S. 275, the Professional Boxing Amendments Act of 2003. If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased to proved them. The CBO staff contacts are Alexis Ahlstrom (for Federal costs), Leo Lex (for the State and local impact), and Paige Piper/Bach (for the private-sector impact). Sincerely, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Director. Enclosure. S. 275--Professional Boxing Amendments Act of 2003 Summary: S. 275 would establish the United States Boxing Administration (USBA) within the Department of Labor. The administration would protect the safety and interests of boxers, and govern the business of professional boxing by regulating boxing contracts, licensing and registering boxing participants, and issuing guidelines for ranking boxers. Assuming the appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates that implementing S. 275 would cost $7 million in 2004 and $34 million over the 2004-2013 period. (Those amounts reflect adjustments for anticipated inflation.) S. 275 also would make violations of certain provisions of the Professional Boxing Safety Act of 1996 Federal crimes. CBO estimates that his provisions would not have a significant effect on direct spending or revenues. By placing requirements on boxing commissions run by State and tribal governments, S. 275 would impose intergovernmental mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). CBO estimates that the cost of those of those mandates would not be significant and would not exceed the threshold established in the law ($59 million in 2003, adjusted annually for inflation). S. 275 would impose several private-sector mandates, as defined by UMRA, on the boxing industry. CBO estimates that the total direct cost of those mandates would fall below the annual threshold established by UMRA for private-sector mandates ($117 million in 2003, adjusted annually for inflation). Estimated cost to the Federal Government: The estimated budgetary impact of S. 275 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 550 (health). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By fiscal year, in millions of dollars-- -------------------------------------------- 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES IN SPENDING SUBJECT TO APPROPRIATION \1\ Estimated authorization level \2\.................................. 8 8 7 6 6 Estimated outlays.................................................. 7 8 7 6 6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ S. 275 also could increase direct spending and revenues, but CBO estimates that any such effects would be less than $500,000 a year. \2\ Includes adjustments for anticipated inflation. Basis of estimate CBO estimates that implementing S. 275 would cost $34 million over the 2004-2008 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. For this estimate, we assume the bill will be enacted this summer and that the estimated authorization amounts will be appropriated for each year beginning in fiscal year 2004. Enacting the bill also could increase both direct spending and revenues, but the amounts of any such changes would not be significant. Spending subject to appropriation S. 275 would authorize the appropriation of such sums as necessary for establishing a boxing administration to regulate professional boxing matches and those individuals involved in the sport. This new regulator would monitor would cost $7 million in 2004 and $34 million over the 2004-2008 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Currently, tribal and state boxing commissions act as governing bodies--issuing licenses, ensuring boxing safety, and monitoring boxing contracts and fights within their jurisdiction. The USBA would not replace these entities or the activities they undertake, although the bill would specific the minimum safety standards and licensing requirements those entities must maintain. S. 275 would create a separate, Federal entity to govern the sport of boxing, with national, minimal standards and requirements for the business of professional boxing. United States Boxing Administration. S. 275 would create the USBA within the Department of Labor. It would be headed by an administrator to be named by the President. In addition to that position, the bill would allow the hiring of the necessary staff to fulfill the requirements of the bill. The USBA would issue regulations concerning the ranking of boxers by sanctioning organizations, minimum safety standards for boxing matches, minimum contractual requirements, and other issues. The bill also would require the USBA to monitor compliance with issued regulations (including onsite checks of compliance with health and safety standards). In addition, the USBA would have to process submitted contracts for boxing matches and approve certain types of boxing matches they would occur. CBO estimates that the USBA would employ about 30 people (including 3 senior executives, about 20 people at the GS-12 or GS-13 level, and less than 10 support staff) to write regulations, inspect boxing matches, and establish and maintain the registries, among other activities. Assuming the appropriation of the necessary amounts, CBO estimates the cost of salaries and other benefits for these individuals would be $3 million in 2004 and $18 million over the 2004-2008 period. In addition to those costs, CBO estimates the cost of leasing office space, travel to and from matches, office equipment, and other costs would be $1 million in 2003 and $6 million over the 2004-2008 period. Licensing and Registration. S. 275 would require the USBA to license boxers, managers, and promoters every two to four years. CBO assumes that license fees would be similar to those now currently charged by boxing commissions. The bill would require the USBA to maintain a registry with the names of licensed boxers, managers, and promoters, as well as boxing judges and referees. Based on spending for similar registries, CBO estimates the cost of developing the boxing registry would be $2 million over the 2004-2007 period, assuming the appropriation of the necessary amount. CBO estimates that the licensing fees (considered offsetting collections) would offset the cost of maintaining the registry by 2007. The bill also would establish a medical registry that would contain information about the health of each boxer, including medical records and incidents of medical suspensions. CBO estimates that developing and maintaining the medical registry would cost about $2 million in 2004 and $8 million over the 2004-2008 period, assuming the appropriation of the necessary amounts. Boxer-Safety Provisions. S. 275 would establish minimum safety standards for boxing matches. The bill would require that boxers the tested for infections diseases prior tocompeting. The bill would require disclosure of potential injuries to all boxers at the time of registry with a boxing commission. Professional boxing officials have indicated that these activities are generally current practice, but the USBA would have to monitor compliance with these provisions. The estimated cost of monitoring boxer health and safety is included above in the cost of establishing the USBA. Direct spending and revenues The bill would allow the Attorney General of the United States to pursue criminal actions against certain persons in violation of the statute. The law already allows criminal prosecution of managers, promoters, matchmakers, and licensees. Because those prosecuted and convicted under S. 275 could be subject to criminal fines, the federal government might collect additional fines if the bill is enacted. Collections of such fines are recorded in the budget as governmental receipts (revenues), which are deposited in the Crime Victims Fund and spent in subsequent years. CBO expects that any additional receipts and direct spending would be less than $500,000 each year. Estimated impact on State, local, and tribal governments: S. 275 contains intergovernmental mandates as defined in UMRA, because state and tribal boxing commissions would be required to meet certain health and safety standards and reporting requirements. Currently, most boxing commissions maintain a certain level of health and safety standards. This bill would make those standards uniform. It would require boxers to be tested for infectious disease and require commissions to make health and safety disclosures to boxers when they are registered, as well as expand safety requirements for boxing matches. Boxing commissions would be required to report all registries of boxers to the USBA and to meet uniform standards to be set by the administration. Information from tribes involved in professional boxing and from the Association of Boxing Commissions indicates that many state and tribal boxing commissions already regulate boxing matches using standards similar to those that would be required by this bill. CBO therefore expects any costs associated with additional health and safety measures and other USBA reporting requirements to be minimal. S. 275 also would give the USBA authority to subpoena witnesses and evidence from any place in the United States, including Indian land. This authority would be considered a mandate under UMRA, but would not be likely to impose significant costs.CBO estimates that the cost of complying with all of the intergovernmental mandates in the bill would not be significant, and thus would not exceed the threshold established in UMRA ($59 million in 2003, adjusted annually for inflation). Estimated impact on the private sector: S. 275 would impose several private-sector mandates, as defined by UMRA, on the boxing industry. CBO estimates that the total direct cost of those mandates would fall below the annual threshold established by UMRA for private-sector mandates ($117 million in 2003, adjusted annually for inflation). The bill would require boxers, managers, promoters, and sanctioning organizations to be licensed by the USBA established in the bill. According to representatives of the boxing industry, license fees would most likely cost the industry less than $1 million per year. The bill also would impose mandates on the industry by requiring additional safety standards, standard clauses for contracts, and the filing of reports. The bill would require boxers, managers, promoters, and sanctioning organizations to meet certain uniform standards addressing the health and safety of boxers. The bill would require certain contract provisions to be included in each bout agreement, boxer-manager contract, and promotional agreement, and would require those agreements to be filed with the USBA. Sanctioning organizations would be required to adopt guidelines to be promulgated by the USBA for the rating of professional boxers. Under the bill, promoters, judges, referees, and sanctioning organizations would be required to report certain information about boxing matches to the USBA. Based on information from the Department of Labor and representatives of the boxing industry, a majority of the industry already complies in large part with the above requirements under state boxing commission regulations. Therefore, CBO estimates that the incremental cost for the boxing industry to comply with those mandates would fall well below the annual threshold. In addition, entities in the private sector, if subpoenaed, would be required to attend and provide testimony, evidence, or materials related to any investigations the USBA may conduct. Such a requirement would be a private-sector mandate under UMRA. CBO expects the commission would likely exercise its subpoena power sparingly and that the costs to comply with a subpoena would not be significant. Estimate prepared by: Federal costs: Alexis Ahlstrom; impact on State, local, and tribal governments: Leo Lex; impact on the private sector: Paige Piper/Bach. Estimate approved by: Peter H. Fontaine, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis. Regulatory Impact Statement In accordance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee provides the following evaluation of the regulatory impact of the legislation, as reported: NUMBER OF PERSONS COVERED The legislation would apply to professional boxers, local boxing commissions, boxing promoters, boxing managers, boxing judges and referees, ringside physicians, boxing registries, and sanctioning organizations, as well as premium or other cable or satellite program service providers, casinos, hotels, resorts, and other commercial establishments that may act as promoters. The legislation would not apply to amateur boxing. ECONOMIC IMPACT The economic impact of this legislation is expected to be minimal. PRIVACY The impact on the personal privacy of the persons covered by this legislation is expected to be minimal. The USBA, in establishing and maintaining a medical registry for all licensed professional boxers, is directed to take appropriate action to ensure the confidentiality of such records. PAPERWORK The impact on paperwork is difficult to determine prior to the formation of the USBA. Local boxing commissions may be required by the USBA to perform minimal processing of licensing and boxing data. Section-by-Section Analysis Section 1. Short title; table of contents Section 1 would provide that this Act may be cited as the ``Professional Boxing Amendments Act of 2003.'' This section also provides a table of contents for this Act. Section 2. Amendment of Professional Boxing Safety Act of 1996 Section 2 would provide that all references to amendments to, or repeal of, certain sections, are to be considered to be made to a section or other provision of the Professional Boxing Safety Act of 1996 (PBSA) (15 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.). Section 3. Definitions Subsection (a) would amend section 2 of the PBSA by providing several changes to definitions. Most notable, the term ``boxing commission'' would be revised to include entities authorized under tribal law to regulate professional boxing. Only State commissions are considered ``boxing commissions'' under current law. The term ``promoter'' would be modified to exclude a premium or other cable or satellite program service, hotel, casino, resort, or other commercial establishment, unless the premium or other cable or satellite program service, hotel, casino, resort, or other commercial establishment has a promotional agreement with a boxer in the match, and there is no other person responsible for organizing, promoting, or producing the match engaging as an affiliate of the premium or other cable or satellite program service, hotel, casino, resort, or other commercial establishment. Subsection (b) would amend section 21 of the PBSA with respect to professional boxing matches conducted on Indian lands. This provision would provide authority to a tribal organization to establish a boxing commission to regulate professional boxing held on tribal land. Should a tribal organization establish a boxing commission, the standards adopted by the tribal organization should be at least as restrictive as the requirements of the State in which the tribal organization is located, or the guidelines established by the USBA. Section 4. Purposes Section 4 would amend section 3(2) of the PBSA by striking ``State'' in ``State boxing commissions'' to allow tribal organizations to be included as boxing commissions. Section 5. USBA approval, or ABC or Commission sanction, required for matches Section 5 would amend section 4 of the PBSA to provide that no person may arrange, promote, organize, produce, or fight in a professional boxing match in the United States without approval by the USBA and supervision by the ABC or by a boxing commission that is a member of the ABC in good standing. Approval by the USBA is presumed unless the USBA has been informed of a violation of the PBSA and has notified the supervising boxing commission that it does not approve, the match is advertised as a championship match, or the match is scheduled for 10 rounds or more. Section 6. Safety standards Section 6 would amend section 5 of the PBSA to require that the physical examination currently required by the PBSA include testing for infectious diseases in accordance with standards established by the USBA. This section also would require that an ambulance and medical personnel with appropriate resuscitation equipment be continuously present on the site of professional boxing matches. Current law requires that either an ambulance or medical personnel with appropriate resuscitation equipment be on site. Section 7. Registration Section 7 would amend section 6 of the PBSA to require that State and tribal boxing commissions provide professional boxers with a health and safety disclosure when issuing a boxer a federal identification card currently required under the PBSA. Such disclosure is currently not required, but rather is merely a ``Sense of the Congress'' in the PBSA. This section also would require that boxing commissions furnish to the USBA a copy of each professional boxer's registration, as well as the registrations of boxing promoters, managers, and sanctioning organizations. Section 8. Review Section 8 would amend section 7 of the PBSA to clarify the appeal procedure should a boxing commission impose a summary suspension on a professional boxer. Current law creates an inference that, not only must a boxing commission establish appeal procedures regarding the suspension of a boxer, but it also must establish procedures to enable a boxer to have a second hearing regarding the revocation of the suspension. This section would clarify the intent of the current law and require that a boxing commission establish procedures to provide a hearing in the event a boxer seeks to contest the imposition of a summary suspension. Section 9. Reporting Section 9 would amend section 8 of the PBSA by requiring that supervising boxing commissions report the results of a professional boxing match to the USBA within 2 business days. Under current law, supervising boxing commissions must report results to each boxer registry not later than 48 business hours. Section 10. Contract requirements Section 10 would amend section 9 of the PBSA. Subsection (a) would authorize the USBA, in consultation with the ABC, to develop minimum contractual provisions to be included in all bout agreements, boxer-manager contracts, and promotional agreements. Boxing commissions would be required to ensure that these minimum provisions are included in any such agreements or contracts. Subsection (b) would require managers or promoters to submit a copy of each boxer-manager contract and each promotional agreement between the manager or promoter and the boxer to the USBA. This subsection also would prohibit a boxing commission from approving a professional boxing match unless a copy of the bout agreement related to the match is filed with and approved by the commission. Subsection (c) would prohibit a boxing commission from approving a professional boxing match unless the promoter of that match posts a surety bond, cashier's check, letter of credit, cash, or other security acceptable to the boxing commission. This is intended to ensure that the boxer is paid at the conclusion of each match. Section 11. Coercive contracts This section would amend section 10 of the PBSA to establish minimum contractual guidelines for bout agreements, boxer- manager contracts, and promotional agreements. Section 12. Sanctioning organizations Section 12 would amend section 11 of the PBSA. Subsection (a) would require within 1 year after the date of enactment, the USBA, in consultation with the ABC, develop guidelines for written criteria for rating professional boxers based on their athletic merits. Within 90 days of the promulgation of the guidelines, each sanctioning organization would be required to adopt and comply with the guidelines. Subsection (b) would require sanctioning organizations, when making ratings changes, to post, within 7 days and for a period of not less than 30 days, a copy of the new ratings on its Internet website or homepage with an explanation of the change posted for a period of not less than 30 days, provide a copy of the rating change and an explanation to the boxer and the USBA, provide the boxer an opportunity to appeal the ratings change, and apply the ratings guidelines required under subsection (a) of this section. Subsection (c) would require sanctioning organizations that receive inquiries from boxers challenging ratings decisions to provide to the boxer, within 7 days, a written explanation of the sanctioning organizations rating criteria, its rating of the boxer, and its rationale or basis for its rating, and submit a copy of its explanation to the ABC and the USBA. Section 13. Required disclosures by sanctioning organizations Section 13 would amend section 12 of the PBSA, which bars a sanctioning organization from receiving compensation from a boxing match until it provides the supervising boxing commission with a statement of fees assessed to the fighter or received for the fight. This section would be modified to require sanctioning organizations to provide, within 7 days after a professional boxing match of 10 rounds or more, a statement of all fees that a sanctioning organization ``has assessed, or will assess'' to any boxer in the match, a statement of fees that a sanctioning organization ``has received, or will receive'' from all sources affiliated with a boxing event, and any other information that the supervising boxing commission may require. Section 14. Required disclosures by promoters Section 14 would amend section 13 of the PBSA, which bars a promoter from receiving compensation from a boxing match until it provides the supervising boxing commission with certain financial information regarding the match. This section would be amended to require promoters to provide to the supervising boxing commission, within 7 days after a professional boxing match of 10 rounds or more, that same financial information. This section also would require promoters to make similar financial disclosures to each boxer in the match within 7 days after a professional boxing match of 10 rounds or more, including what the promoter has paid, or has agreed to pay, to any other person in connection with the match. Section 15. Judges and referees Section 15 would amend section 16 of the PBSA. Subsection (a) would require that no person may arrange, promote, organize, produce, or fight in a professional match unless the referees and judges participating in the match have been ``selected'' by the supervising boxing commission. Current law requires that all referees and judges participating in the match are ``certified and approved'' by the supervising boxing commission. Subsection (b) would require, in addition to subsection (a), that no person may arrange, promote, organize, produce, or fight in a professional match advertised to the public as a championship match or in a match scheduled for 10 rounds or more unless the referees and judges participating in the match have been licensed by the USBA. Subsection (c) would prohibit sanctioning organizations from influencing, directly or indirectly, the selection of judges and referees but would allow the organizations to provide a list of judges or referees that the sanctioning organization deems qualified. Subsection (d) would permit a supervising boxing commission to select judges and referees who reside outside a commission's jurisdiction, but only if the judges or referees are licensed by a boxing commission in the United States. Subsection (e) would require that a judge or referee provide to a supervising boxing commission a statement of all consideration, including reimbursement for expenses, that the judge or referee has received, or will receive, from any source for participation in the match. This statement also would be provided to the USBA if the match is scheduled for 10 rounds or more. Section 16. Medical registry Section 16 would create a new section 14 in the PBSA. Subsection (a) would require that the USBA, in consultation with the ABC, establish and maintain, or certify a third party to establish and maintain, a medical registry to contain the comprehensive medical records and medical denials or suspensions for every licensed boxer in the United States. Subsection (b) would direct the USBA to determine the nature of the medical records to be forwarded to the USBA and the time within which they are to be submitted to the registry. Subsection (c) would require the USBA to establish confidentiality standards for the disclosure of personally- identifiable information to boxing commissions to ensure that the information is used for the intended purpose, which is to protect the health and safety of professional boxers, and that it is not publicly disclosed. Section 17. Conflicts of interest Section 17 would amend section 17(a) of the PBSA by including officers and employees of the USBA in the current list of persons who may not ``belong to, contract with, or receive any compensation from, any person who sanctions, arranges, or promotes professional boxing matches or who otherwise has a financial interest in an active boxer currently registered with a boxer registry.'' Section 18. Enforcement Section 18 would amend section 18 of the PBSA. Under the PBSA, the United States Attorney General has the authority to bring a civil action in the appropriate district court to prevent or punish a violation of the PBSA. This section would expand that authority to include criminal actions. This section also would make officers and employees of the USBA subject to civil or criminal action for violation of the PBSA. This section would allow the chief law enforcement officer of a State to bring an action if that officer has reason to believe that a person ``has engaged in, or is engaging'' in conduct that violates the PBSA. Current law only allows the chief law enforcement officer of a State to act while the violator is engaging in, but not after, the unlawful conduct. Section 19. Repeal of deadwood Section 19 would repeal section 20 of the PBSA, which required the Secretary of Labor to conduct a study on the feasibility and cost of a national pension system for professional boxers and report the results to Congress. Section 20 of the PBSA also required the Secretary of Health and Human Services ``to conduct a study to develop recommendations for health, safety, and equipment standards for boxers and for professional boxing matches.'' These requirements are no longer necessary. Section 20. Recognition of tribal law Section 20 would amend section 22 of the PBSA by allowing tribal organizations, not just States, to adopt or enforce supplemental or more stringent laws or regulations not inconsistent with the PBSA, or criminal, civil, or administrative fines for violations of such laws or regulations. Section 21. Establishment of United States Boxing Administration Subsection (a) would amend the PBSA by adding a new title II establishing the USBA, as follows: Section 201. Purpose This section states that the purpose of the USBA is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of boxers and to ensure fairness in the sport of professional boxing. Section 202. Establishment of United States Boxing Administration This section would establish the United States Boxing Administration as an administration within the Department of Labor. Subsection (a) would provide for the USBA to be headed by an Administrator, appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. This subsection also would provide that the qualifications of the Administrator shall include experience in professional boxing or professional sports, outstanding character, U.S. citizenship, and his/her selection would be without regard to political party affiliation. The subsection also would establish the term of the Administrator to be for a 4-year period. Subsection (b) would provide that the USBA also shall have an Assistant Administrator and a General Counsel. Subsection (c) would provide that the USBA may have staff necessary to carry out the function of the Administration. Section 203. Functions Subsection (a) would provide the primary functions of the USBA. Subsection (b) lists the specific functions of the USBA.

Subsection (d) would provide that the USBA shall have the exclusive right to the name ``United States Boxing Administration.'' This subsection also provides that any person who uses the name, USBA, without permission is subject to a civil action by the Administration under the Trademark Act of 1946. Section 204. Licensing and registration of boxing personnel Subsection (a) would require that boxers, managers, promoters, and sanctioning organizations be licensed by the USBA to participate in a professional boxing match. The USBA shall establish procedures and fees for applying for, granting, and issuing licenses. Licenses issued by the USBA would be for 4-year periods for professional boxers and 2-year periods for any other person. The USBA may issue licenses through State and tribal boxing commissions. Subsection (b) would authorize the USBA to prescribe and charge reasonable licensing fees. In setting fees, this subsection cautions that, to the maximum extent possible, the USBA should ensure that club boxing is not adversely affected, sanctioning organizations and promoters pay the largest portion of the fees, and boxers pay as small a portion as possible. The USBA may collect fees through boxing commissions. Section 205. National registry of boxing personnel Subsection (a) would require the USBA, in consultation with the ABC, to establish (or certify a third party to establish) a national registry of boxing personnel. This registry is to include relevant information about boxers, as well as information on promoters, matchmakers, managers, trainers, cut men, referees, judges, physicians, and any other professional boxing personnel deemed appropriate by the USBA. Section 206. Consultation requirements This section would require the USBA to consult with boxing commissions before prescribing any regulation or establishing any standard, and not less than once each year regarding matters related to professional boxing. Section 207. Misconduct Subsection (a) would authorize the USBA, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, to suspend or revoke any license issued under this title if the USBA finds that such action is necessary to protect health and safety or is otherwise in the public interest; there are reasonable grounds to believe that a USBA standard is not being met or that certain criminal acts have occurred; or the licensee has violated a provision of the PBSA. The USBA would determine the period of suspension. In the case of a revocation of the license of a boxer, the revocation would be for a period of not less than one year. Subsection (b) would authorize the USBA to conduct investigations and seek injunctions to further the purposes of the PBSA. This subsection also would authorize the USBA to subpoena, administer oaths and affirmations, and require the production of information. Subsection (c) would authorize the USBA to intervene or file an amicus brief on behalf of the public interest in any civil action relating to professional boxing filed in a United States district court. Subsection (d) would require that hearings conducted by the USBA be public and may be held before any officer of the USBA or before a boxing commission that is a member of the ABC. Section 208. Noninterference with local boxing authorities Subsection (a) would provide that nothing in this title shall prohibit any boxing commission from exercising its powers, duties, or functions with respect to the regulation or supervision of professional boxing to the extent such exercises are not inconsistent with this title. Subsection (b) would provide that nothing in this title prohibits any boxing commission from enforcing local standards or requirements that exceed those promulgated by the USBA. Section 209. Assistance from other agencies This section would authorize the USBA to request that any employee of a Federal entity be detailed to the USBA on a reimbursable or nonreimbursable basis with the relevant entity's consent. Section 210. Reports Subsection (a) would require the USBA to submit an annual report to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and the House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce. The report shall include a detailed discussion of the activities of the USBA and an overview of the licensing and enforcement activities of boxing commissions. Subsection (b) would require the USBA to publish and publicize an annual report regarding the progress made to reform professional boxing at the Federal and State levels, including on Indian lands, and comment on continuing concerns of the USBA. Subsection (c) would require that the first annual report be submitted not later than 2 years after the effective date of this title. Section 211. Initial implementation Subsection (a) would provide that the licensing requirements of this title do not apply to boxers, judges or referees, or any other activity in relation to professional boxing, if the person is licensed by a boxing commission to perform that activity as of the effective date of this title. Subsection (b) would provide that the exemption in subsection (a) expires on the earlier of the date on which the license expires, or the date that is 2 years after the date of enactment of this legislation. Section 212. Authorization of appropriations Subsection (a) would authorize such sums as may be necessary to be appropriated to the USBA for each fiscal year such sums as may be necessary to perform its functions for that fiscal year. Subsection (b) would provide that any fee collected under this title be credited as offsetting collections to the account that finances the USBA. Subsection (c) would provide several conforming amendments. Section 22. Effective date Subsection (a) would provide that, except as provided in subsection (b), the amendments made by this legislation will take effect on the date of enactment of this legislation. Subsection (b) would provide that sections 205 through 212 of the PBSA as added by section 21 (a) of this legislation, will take effect 1 year after the date of enactment of this legislation.
