Because Nevada
believes that the safety and health of the contestants must be of paramount
importance, the state legislature created a Medical Advisory Board to assist
and advise the Commission.
The board duties
include preparing and submitting to the Commission appropriate standards for
the physical and mental examination of contestants, advising the Commission
as to the physical or mental fitness of a contestant and recommending physicians
to be licensed as ringside physicians for the Commission.
The Medical Advisory
Board also prepares and submits recommendations for revisions in the law
necessary to protect the health of the contestants in Nevada. However, the
board can only make recommendations to the Commission. The Commission must
vote to adopt the recommendations of the board for the recommendations to
go into effect.
