Tennessee Athletic Commission
Proposed Rule Notify
Pursuant to T.C.A. § 4-3-1306(d), you are receiving this notice because you have elected to receive notification by e-mail of certain changes or potential changes to the law applicable to your profession.
On December 5, 2017, the Tennessee Athletic Commission (“Commission”) amended a rule affecting medical insurance coverage for promoters of a professional contest. These rules were filed with the Secretary of State on July 11, 2018 and are effective as of October 9, 2018. These changes would amend the Tennessee Athletic Commission Rules and Regulations as follows:
Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0145-01-.04 [Permits for Professional Contests] and 0145-01-.05 [Responsibilities of Promoters] are amended to alter the responsibilities of promoters when conducting a contest in regards to medical coverage. The current rule mandates that as a prerequisite for a permit, proof must be shown of medical coverage for each combatant for injuries sustained in the contest. The rule as amended will reduce the amount of medical coverage required from $50,000 to $20,000.
A copy of the rule filing is available for review on the website of the Secretary of State at
