Professional Boxing Safety Act of 1995

Summary

Professional Boxing Safety Act - Allows a professional boxing match to be held in the United States only if: (1) the State where the match is to be held has a State boxing commission or the promoter who seeks to put on a boxing event in a State that does not have a commission has entered into an agreement with the chief administrative officer of a State that does to oversee the match; and (2) the commission has established procedures to carry out this Act. Requires each professional boxer to register with the 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 such commission, the commission of any State that has a commission. Directs a commission to issue to each professional boxer who registers in accordance with such provisions an identification card that contains: (1) a recent photograph of the boxer; (2) 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 boxer's country of residence); and (3) the personal identification numbers assigned to the boxer by the boxing registries certified by the Association of Boxing Commissioners. Requires each professional boxer to: (1) renew his or her identification card at least once every three years; and (2) present such card to the commission not later than the time of the weigh-in for a professional boxing match. Declares that nothing in this Act shall prevent States from applying additional registration requirements. Directs each commission to establish procedures to: (1) evaluate the professional records of each boxer participating in a match in the State; (2) ensure that no boxer is permitted to box while under suspension from any commission due to injury or other medical-related reason, including a recent knockout, injury, or requirement for a medical procedure, failure of a drug test, poor boxing skills or inability to compete safely, the use of false aliases, or falsifying or attempting to falsify official identification cards or documents; and (3) ensure that if such commission is considering permitting a boxer, promoter, manager, or other licensee to participate in a boxing event while the individual is under suspension from any State for reasons other than those stated above, such commission shall notify and consult with the chief administrative officer of the State that ordered the suspension prior to approving such participation. Requires the results of a match and the suspension of a boxer, promoter, or manager ordered by a commission to be reported to the professional boxing registries certified by the Association of Boxing Commissions and to the Florida State Athletic Commission within 48 business hours. Specifies that if the State of Florida ceases to publish and circulate a national suspension list at no cost to other States on a frequent basis, the Association shall select a different public or private entity to voluntarily undertake to compile and circulate a suspension list to all commissions at no cost. Authorizes the U.S. Attorney to bring a civil action in U.S. district court requesting relief to restrain a person or entity from continuing to engage in, or to sanction, a match in violation of this Act. Imposes criminal penalties on each manager, promoter, matchmaker (i.e., a person or business that proposes, selects, and arranges the boxers to participate in a professional boxing event), and licensee who knowingly and willfully violates this Act.
