SB 478 - This act requires professional boxing promoters to
file proof of insurance of not less than $100,000 for each boxer
with the Department of Economic Development. If the promoter
does not file proof of insurance, the promoter will not be issued
a permit or license to promote professional boxing matches. The
insurance policy will cover any medical expense associated with a
boxing injury. The insurance policy will also pay the boxer's
estate if the boxing injury results in death.
