Section 13:46-8.1 - Selection and assignment

(a) Referees and judges for boxing exhibitions shall be selected, licensed, and assigned by the Commissioner. Referees and judges are at-will employees of the Board and, notwithstanding the procedure enumerated in 13:46-4.14, may have their licenses revoked or their renewal applications denied without the benefit of a hearing before the Board.

(b) To be licensed as a referee or as a judge an individual must have officiated previously in amateur competition or in other states or jurisdictions. The Commissioner will review the applicant's previous performance and will consider any other training including attendance at seminars conducted by the Commissioner. Judges must be conversant with the rules and regulations of the Board.

(c) An individual who is appointed to be a judge or referee in a championship match or in a match in a special event and who does not hold a valid referee or judge license must apply to the Commissioner for a special judge or referee permit not later than 30 days prior to the date of the match. The Commissioner may grant the application if he or she finds that the permit applicant meets the qualification for a referee or judge established under this chapter. Such permit shall allow an individual to perform as a judge or referee in not more than two combative sports shows held within the same 72 hour period. The fee for such permit shall be $ 50.00.
