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”) considered a rule change affecting medical insurance coverage for promoters of a professional contest. This proposed rule amendment was filed with the Secretary of State as Proposed Rules on July 11, 2018. This amendment will become effective October 9, 2018, unless, within ninety (90) days after the proposed rule was filed with the Secretary of State, a petition for a public hearing on the proposed rule is filed by ten (10) persons who will be affected by the rule, an association of ten (10) or more members, a municipality, or by a majority vote of any standing committee of the general assembly.
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 the amount of medical coverage required. These rules mandate 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 to be provided by a promoter 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
