The committee passed the bill by roll call vote, 9-0.

Senator Baldwin, the bill sponsor, told the committee the amendment (Amendment 3) \"moves the regulatory team to the bare knuckle fighting from under the martial arts to boxing.\" Baldwin said the change is intended to provide a regulatory framework similar to boxing and mixed martial arts that would allow for safety standards, consistent oversight and revenue generation. \"It is a solid sport,\" Baldwin said, adding that participants and the state would benefit from regulation.

Committee members asked general questions about organizations involved. One committee member asked whether large organizations, analogous to wrestling federations, are currently involved; the sponsor replied that groups are conducting bare-knuckle events but that they lack the regulations that exist for boxing and MMA.

No members of the public signed up to testify. Following brief discussion and adoption of the amendment by consent, the committee moved the bill and took a roll call vote. The roll call as recorded in the transcript shows nine affirmative votes and no negatives; the clerk announced the bill passed \"as amended 9 to 0.\" The transcript includes light banter among senators about staging a demonstration and references to caucus relationships but records no additional directions to staff, fiscal estimates, or implementation timelines.

The committee record does not include an estimate of anticipated revenue, specific safety standards to be applied, or the agency that will administer the transferred regulatory responsibility; those details would be expected in subsequent drafting or agency fiscal analyses but are not specified in the committee transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Public Policy Meetings Wednesday, Mar. 26 - 1:30pm","oneSentenceSummary","House Bill 1073, as amended, moves regulation of bare-knuckle fighting from martial-arts oversight to boxing regulation and passed the Public Policy Committee by a 9-0 roll call vote.

The measure passed by roll call vote, 9-0.

The presenter, identified in the record as the summer-study committee chair, told the committee the amendment that was adopted came from the Department of Health and \"removes the sepsis task force that was founded in 2019. They haven't met. They don't see a purpose in it.\" The chair said the core of HB 1272 is to continue a four-year effort reviewing commission, committee and board administration.

Under the bill as explained to the committee, all commissions, committees and boards of administration would be required to report biannually to the Legislative Council. Reports must include official actions taken or actionable items considered during the preceding two years. The presenter said the interim committee would review those reports in even-numbered years. The legislation also includes an exit plan for an Interstate Rail Passenger Network Compact that the presenter noted has the same name as an existing compact currently active.

There were no registered public witnesses listed for the item, and committee members did not ask substantive technical questions before voting. The roll call recorded nine affirmative votes and no negatives or abstentions; the clerk announced the bill passed \"as amended nine-zero.\" The committee did not record additional directions to staff or implementation assignments in the transcript.

The bill was presented as part of a summer study committee's findings intended to increase oversight and consistency in how boards and commissions report their actions to the Legislature. The Department of Health-driven amendment removed a dormant advisory group addressing sepsis treatment guidelines.

Looking ahead, the bill returns to the legislative process as passed by the committee; the transcript does not specify subsequent procedural steps, effective dates, or whether the Interstate Rail Passenger Network Compact exit plan requires further administrative action.","The Indiana Legislature Public Policy Committee passed House Bill 1272 as amended to require commissions, committees and boards to report biannually to the Legislative Council and to repeal a dormant sepsis treatment guidelines task force. The bill passed by roll call vote, 9-0.","actionData","errors"]
