NOTICE OF RULE MAKING HEARING

RE: REPEAL OF RULES REGARDING HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS FOR TOUGHPERSON FIGHTING
House Bill 10-1245, Colorado Boxing Commission Legislation, was effective July 1, 2010.  One of the statutory changes removed the requirement for toughperson fighting to occur when the health and safety standards were met. The attached health and safety rules for the Office of Boxing are hereby repealed pursuant to §12-10-103(15), C.R.S which repealed the requirement to allow toughperson fighting when an event met the health and safety rules.    

Basis and Purpose:  The basis and purpose of repealing the health and safety rules is provided in §12-10-103(15), C.R.S.    
 
Statutory Authority:  The statutory authority for repealing the rules is §12-10-103(15), C.R.S. and § 24-4-103, C.R.S.  
Finding of Imperative Necessity:  The Director of the Office of Boxing and the Boxing Commission find that immediate adoption to repeal the rules is imperatively necessary to eliminate the need to meet the health and safety rules given the repeal of such requirement in §12-10-103(15), C.R.S.  The amended Act removed the requirement to allow toughperson fighting unless the event met the health and safety standards and continuing the health and safety standards would be contrary to state law.  

The repeal of these rules shall become effective immediately upon adoption and publication.
