HB 180 Wyoming House · 2019 General Session

Mixed martial arts regulation.

HB 180 modifies Wyoming's mixed martial arts (MMA) regulation by updating bond requirements and inspector duties. It requires promoters to submit a verified, good-faith estimate of match expenses (based on similar venues) to secure a bond, replacing the prior $10,000 cap. The bill also clarifies that inspectors and deputy inspectors must verify rule compliance at all profit-based matches, report ticket sales and proceeds to the board, and may be compensated from fees in the MMA board account. These changes directly affect MMA promoters, clubs, and organizations seeking licenses, as well as county-appointed inspectors. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
