NAC467.017. Effect of age, experience and physical condition on issuance or renewal of license to engage in unarmed combat.

     1. If an applicant for a license to engage in unarmed combat or an unarmed combatant has:

     (a) Not reached 18 years of age;

     (b) Reached 36 years of age or will reach 36 years of age during the current calendar year;

     (c) Competed in more than 425 rounds of unarmed combat in contests or exhibitions sanctioned by the Commission or any other agency that regulates unarmed combat in another jurisdiction; or

     (d) Not competed in unarmed combat for at least 36 consecutive months,

Ê the applicant or unarmed combatant must have his or her application for a license or for renewal of a license reviewed by the Commission or, if time does not permit and no concerns about the application have been raised by the Executive Director or any Commissioner, reviewed by the Chair of the Commission or the Chair’s designee, so that his or her experience and fitness may be considered before the license is issued or renewed.

     2. The Commission will not issue or renew a license to engage in unarmed combat to an applicant or unarmed combatant who is found to be blind in one eye or whose vision in one eye is so poor that a physician recommends that the license not be granted or renewed. This rule is effective regardless of how good the vision of the applicant or unarmed combatant may be in the other eye.

     3. If an applicant for a license to engage in unarmed combat or an unarmed combatant has suffered a serious head injury, including, but not limited to, a cerebral hemorrhage, the applicant or unarmed combatant must have his or her application for a license or for renewal of a license reviewed by the Commission before a license is issued or renewed.
