* § 25. Examination by physician; cost. 1. All boxers must be examined

by a physician designated by the commission before entering the ring and

each such physician shall immediately file with the commission a written

report of such examination. The cost of any such examination, as

prescribed by a schedule of fees established by the commission, shall be

paid by the corporation conducting the contest or exhibition to the

commission, which shall then pay the fee covering such cost to the

examining physician, in accordance with the rules of the commission.

2. Any professional boxer licensed under this chapter rendered

unconscious or suffering head trauma as determined by the attending

physician shall be immediately examined by the attending commission

physician and shall be required to undergo neurological and

neuropsychological examinations by a neurologist including but not

limited to a computed tomography or medically equivalent procedure. Any

boxer so injured shall not appear in any match or exhibition until

results of such examinations are reviewed by the commission. The results

of all such examinations herein required shall become a part of the

boxer's permanent medical record as maintained by the commission and

shall be used by the commission to determine whether a boxer shall be

permitted to appear in any future boxing match or exhibition. The costs

of all such examinations called for in this subdivision and subdivision

three shall be assumed by the state if such examinations are performed

by a physician approved by the commission.

3. The commission may at any time require a licensed boxer to undergo

a physical examination, including any neurological or neuropsychological

test or procedure.
