This bill amends and reenacts several sections of the Louisiana Revised Statutes related to the Louisiana State Athletic Commission, specifically addressing the rules and regulations governing boxing, mixed technique events, and wrestling contests. Key changes include the commission's authority to establish rules for contests, the imposition of fines for noncompliance, and the introduction of a fee schedule for the registration of athlete agents. Notably, the bill increases the maximum fine for conducting events without compliance from $500 to $1,000, and the maximum fine for license violations from $1,000 to $5,000. Additionally, it establishes a new registration fee structure for athlete agents, with initial applications costing $1,000 and renewals also set at $1,000.

The bill also introduces new provisions for disciplinary actions, allowing the commission to refuse or revoke licenses based on violations of the chapter or commission rules. It outlines the process for issuing cease and desist orders and injunctions against noncompliant individuals or entities, streamlining the enforcement mechanisms available to the commission. Furthermore, all registration fees collected will be deposited into the Department of Justice Legal Support Fund, ensuring that the revenue generated supports the administration of the commission's activities. The bill repeals a previous section regarding annual registration fees, replacing it with a more comprehensive fee structure.
