Editor's Note: The Maine Athletic Commission (8 M.R.S.A. Ch. 6-A) was repealed by L. 1987, C. 395, § a, 32, effective 6-24-1987. Replacement provisions found in 32 M.R.S.A. Ch. 115 were then repealed by L. 2007, C. 621, § 13. See now the Combat Sports Authority of Maine established in 2009 (8 M.R.S.A. § 522).
A.
No person shall conduct any boxing contest, exhibition or bout, within
the City, either professional or amateur, to which admission to witness
the same is charged to the public, without first securing a permit
for each set of such contests, exhibitions or bouts for which one
admission charge is made.
B.
Such permit shall be issued by the City Council on application and
upon the applicant filing a sufficient bond in the sum of $300, conditioned
that such contests, exhibitions or bouts will be conducted as to the
number of bouts as advertised and in accordance with the provisions
of the laws of the state relative to such contests, exhibitions or
bouts and particularly as to number and length of rounds; gloves;
weight and physical examination of contestants; decisions and receipts;
that accurate standard scales shall be provided by the applicant at
a time and place designated for weighing in, and that no person under
the age of 16 years shall be admitted to such contests, exhibitions
or bouts unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
A fee shall be made for granting those permits required by this
article, which fee shall be set from time to time, and a schedule
of such fees is on file in the City Clerk's office.
