State Athletic Commission.

Under existing law, the State Athletic Commission Act, the State Athletic Commission has jurisdiction over all professional and amateur boxing, professional and amateur kickboxing, all forms and combinations of forms of full contact martial arts contests, including mixed martial arts, and matches or exhibitions conducted, held, or given within this state. Existing law prescribes the composition of the commission and requires the commission to appoint an executive officer. Existing law authorizes the commission to employ in accordance with a specified provision of law other personnel as may be necessary for the administration of the act. Existing law repeals these provisions establishing the commission, requiring it to appoint an executive officer, and authorizing it to employ other personnel on January 1, 2020. This bill would authorize the commission to employ a chief athletic inspector and an assistant chief athletic inspector, and would extend those repeal dates to January 1, 2024.
