    DEPARTMENT OF STATE DIVISION OF PROFESSIONAL REGULATION 8800 BOXING, SPARRING MATCHES AND EXHIBITIONS Statutory Authority: 28 Delaware Code, Chapter 1 (28 Del.C. Ch. 1) 28 DE Admin. Code 8800 PROPOSED PUBLIC NOTICE 8800 Boxing , Sparring Matches and Exhibitions Consistent with a recent statutory amendment, by passage of HB 501, which updated the authority of the Division of Professional Regulation, the Department of State, in accordance with 28 Del.C. Ch. 1, proposes to strike the existing regulations related to boxing, sparring matches and exhibitions in their entirety and establish new combative sports rules and regulations governing boxing and mixed martial arts. A public meeting was held on August 13, 2008 to gather information for proposed rules. James L. Collins, Director of the Division of Professional Regulation, conducted the meeting. In addition to information gleaned in the preliminary meeting, the Director has also conducted a study of mixed martial arts (MMA) regulation across the nation. As a result of careful consideration of public comment and national research, the recommendation of the Director is to adopt conservative rules relating to amateur MMA. This approach will align Delaware's rules with most other jurisdictions that permit MMA and recognize that Delaware does not have an athletic or boxing commission; therefore regulation of events will be conducted by approved sanctioning organizations. Jurisdictions with more liberal rules strictly oversee events through a commission. It is the intent of the Director to have safe MMA events in Delaware that protect the participants and attendees. A public hearing is scheduled for December 8, 2008 at 9:00 a.m.
