Occupations: athletics; third-party sanctioning bodies; allow to supervise, conduct, and oversee contests of certain unarmed combat events, and modify licensure requirements for certain participants. Amends secs. 10, 11, 33b & 54a of 2004 PA 403 (MCL 338.3610 et seq.) & adds secs. 33e, 52a & 54b.

This bill updates Michigan's regulations for unarmed combat sports like boxing and mixed martial arts to clarify the roles and licensing requirements for various participants. It specifically allows individuals to supervise and conduct contests by defining new categories for people who assist fighters, such as those who wrap hands or treat cuts, and sets clearer standards for managers and matchmakers. The legislation also refines definitions for terms like "amateur" and "impaired" to ensure fighters are properly vetted and protected before competing. By amending existing sections and adding new ones to the state's unarmed combat act, the law aims to modernize oversight without changing the fundamental structure of how these events are regulated.
