17-22-206. Combative sports.

The General Assembly finds and declares to be the public policy of this state that it is in the best interest of the public and combative sports that combative sports be subject to an effective and efficient system of strict control and regulation in order to protect the safety and well-being of the participants in combative sports matches and exhibitions and to promote the public confidence in the regulatory process and the conduct of combative sports matches and exhibitions. To further such public confidence and trust, the State Athletic Commission shall have the authority to adopt and promulgate, amend, or abrogate any and all rules and regulations concerning combative sports.
