NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
Title 63C, Chapter 11 (Pete Suazo Utah Athletic Commission Act), Section 318 provides the Pete Suazo Utah Athletic Commission (PSAUC) with the authority to make rules governing the conduct of unarmed combat contests held under this chapter to protect the health and safety of licensees and members of the public.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
The commission has not received any written comments over the past five years supporting or opposing the rule. We have received a handful of comments supporting or opposing specific proposed rule amendments that have been implemented over the past five years. These comments have been considered by the Pete Suazo Utah Athletic Commission (PSUAC) in considering any rule amendments.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
The rule is in place to provide additional guidance to licensed promoters, unarmed combat contestants and other licensees. The rule is in place to help protect the health, safety and welfare of licencees and public and promote the integrity of unarmed combat sports. The rule complies with the requirements of Pub. L. 106-210, the "Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act" which requires state athletic commissions to govern professional boxing within their jurisdictions. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
