Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government. This bill will establish a new responsibility for the State Athletic Commission that this commission does not currently oversee. The State Athletic Commission regulates boxing and mixed martial arts events held in West Virginia.

This will create an additional expense to the state each year.
