Louisiana commission can discipline licensees and oversee athletic contests

The commission may make rules for boxing, mixed technique events, and wrestling, including ticket sales and people involved in the events. The rules apply to contests and exhibitions under the commission's authority, including their promoters, contestants, seconds, and managers. For a case not covered by the chapter or commission rules, the commission may decide what to do if its decision fits justice, the interests of the sports, and its legal authority.

The commission may deny or restrict a license, suspend or revoke it, and seek court orders to stop violations. License discipline applies to applicants and holders under the chapter. Court orders may target people or organizations violating the chapter or commission rules. For alleged violations or fraud, the commission must give notice and hold a hearing under state administrative procedures. Refusing a license because an applicant failed the required exam does not require notice or a hearing. If the commission wins a disciplinary case, it is entitled to reimbursement of related costs, including investigators' and attorney fees. If a person or organization does not stop prohibited conduct within three business days after receiving a cease-and-desist order, the commission may ask a court for an injunction. A judge decides the injunction case without a jury. A person or organization has three business days after receiving a cease-and-desist order to stop the prohibited conduct before the commission may seek an injunction.

Athlete agents applying to register or renew must pay the listed fee, and each registration lasts two years. These provisions apply to athlete agents registering under the chapter. The listed fee is $1,000 for an initial application or renewal, or $500 when based on another state's registration certificate. Collected fees go to the Department of Justice Legal Support Fund. Each registration or renewal is valid for two years.
