S 5367 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Directs the state athletic commission to review the need for regulation and licensing of professional wrestling

S 5367 directs New York's state athletic commission to review whether professional wrestling needs regulation and licensing. The commission must study factors like how often small events require oversight, whether non-competitive shows need rules, and how other states regulate the sport, while consulting wrestlers and stakeholders. By November 1, 2025, the commission must report back to the legislature with findings and recommendations on whether regulation is needed, including minimum safety standards. This bill does not create new regulations but requires a study to inform future legislative decisions, expiring July 1, 2026.
