11.1 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 341.29, is amended to read:
11.2 	341.29 JURISDICTION OF COMMISSIONER.
11.3 	The commissioner shall:
11.4 	(1) have sole direction, supervision, regulation, control, and jurisdiction over all 
11.5 	combative sport contests that are held within this state unless a contest is exempt from the 
11.6 	application of this chapter under federal law;
11.7 	(2) have sole control, authority, and jurisdiction over all licenses required by this 
11.8 	chapter; and
11.9 	(3) grant a license to an applicant if, in the judgment of the commissioner, the 
11.10 	financial responsibility, experience, character, and general fitness of the applicant are 
11.11 	consistent with the public interest, convenience, or necessity and the best interests of 
11.12 	combative sports and conforms with this chapter and the commissioner's rules.; and
11.13 	(4) deny, suspend, or revoke a license using the enforcement provisions of section 
11.14 	326B.082.

11.15 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 341.30, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
11.16 		Subd. 4.Prelicensure requirements. (a) Before the commissioner issues a license 
11.17 	to a promoter, corporation, or other business entity, the applicant shall:
11.18 	(1) provide the commissioner with a copy of any agreement between a combatant 
11.19 	and the applicant that binds the applicant to pay the combatant a certain fixed fee or 
11.20 	percentage of the gate receipts;
11.21 	(2) show on the application the owner or owners of the applicant entity and the 
11.22 	percentage of interest held by each owner holding a 25 percent or more interest in the 
11.23 	applicant;
11.24 	(3) provide the commissioner with a copy of the latest financial statement of the 
11.25 	entity; and
11.26 	(4) provide the commissioner with a copy or other proof acceptable to the 
11.27 	commissioner of the insurance contract or policy required by this chapter.
11.28 	(b) Before the commissioner issues a license to a promoter, the applicant shall 
11.29 	deposit with the commissioner a cash bond or surety bond in an amount set by the 
11.30 	commissioner, which must not be less than $10,000. The bond shall be executed in favor 
11.31 	of this state and shall be conditioned on the faithful performance by the promoter of the 
11.32 	promoter's obligations under this chapter and the rules adopted under it. An applicant for a 
11.33 	license as a promoter and licensed promoters shall submit an application for each event a 
11.34 	minimum of six weeks before the combative sport contest is scheduled to occur.
12.1 	(c) Before the commissioner issues a license to a combatant, the applicant shall 
12.2 	submit to the commissioner:
12.3 	(1) a mixed martial arts combatant national identification number or federal boxing 
12.4 	identification number that is unique to the applicant, or both; and
12.5 	(2) the results of a current medical examination on forms furnished or approved 
12.6 	by the commissioner. The medical examination must include an ophthalmological and 
12.7 	neurological examination, and documentation of test results for HBV, HCV, and HIV, and 
12.8 	any other blood test as the commissioner by rule may require. The ophthalmological 
12.9 	examination must be designed to detect any retinal defects or other damage or condition 
12.10 	of the eye that could be aggravated by combative sports. The neurological examination 
12.11 	must include an electroencephalogram or medically superior test if the combatant has 
12.12 	been knocked unconscious in a previous contest. The commissioner may also order an 
12.13 	electroencephalogram or other appropriate neurological or physical examination before 
12.14 	any contest if it determines that the examination is desirable to protect the health of the 
12.15 	combatant. The commissioner shall not issue a license to an applicant submitting positive 
12.16 	test results for HBV, HCV, or HIV.

12.18 		Subd. 2.Expiration and renewal. A license issued after July 1, 2007, is valid for 
12.19 	one year from the date it is issued and Licenses expire annually on December 31, and may 
12.20 	be renewed by filing an application for renewal with the commissioner and payment of the 
12.21 	license fees established in section 341.321. An application for a license and renewal of a 
12.22 	license must be on a form provided by the commissioner. There is a 30-day grace period 
12.23 	during which a license may be renewed if a late filing penalty fee equal to the license fee 
12.24 	is submitted with the regular license fee. A licensee that files late shall not conduct any 
12.25 	activity regulated by this chapter until the commissioner has renewed the license. If the 
12.26 	licensee fails to apply to the commissioner within the 30-day grace period, the licensee 
12.27 	must apply for a new license under subdivision 1.

12.30 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 327B.04, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
12.31 		Subd. 4.License prerequisites. No application shall be granted nor license issued 
12.32 	until the applicant proves to the commissioner that:
12.33 	(a) the applicant has a permanent, established place of business at each licensed 
12.34 	location. An "established place of business" means a permanent enclosed building other 
13.1 	than a residence, or a commercial office space, either owned by the applicant or leased by 
13.2 	the applicant for a term of at least one year, located in an area where zoning regulations 
13.3 	allow commercial activity, and where the books, records and files necessary to conduct 
13.4 	the business are kept and maintained. The owner of a licensed manufactured home park 
13.5 	who resides in or adjacent to the park may use the residence as the established place of 
13.6 	business required by this subdivision, unless prohibited by local zoning ordinance.
13.7 	If a license is granted, the licensee may use unimproved lots and premises for sale, 
13.8 	storage, and display of manufactured homes, if the licensee first notifies the commissioner 
13.9 	in writing;
13.10 	(b) if the applicant desires to sell, solicit or advertise the sale of new manufactured 
13.11 	homes, it has a bona fide contract or franchise in effect with a manufacturer or distributor 
13.12 	of the new manufactured home it proposes to deal in;
13.13 	(c) the applicant has secured: (1) a surety bond in the amount of $20,000 for each 
13.14 	agency and each subagency location that bears the applicant's name and the name under 
13.15 	which the applicant will be licensed and do business in this state. Each bond is for the 
13.16 	protection of consumer customers, and must be executed by the applicant as principal and 
13.17 	issued by a surety company admitted to do business in this state. Each bond shall be 
13.18 	exclusively for the purpose of reimbursing consumer customers and shall be conditioned 
13.19 	upon the faithful compliance by the applicant with all of the laws and rules of this state 
13.20 	pertaining to the applicant's business as a dealer or manufacturer, including sections 
13.21 	325D.44, 325F.67 and 325F.69, and upon the applicant's faithful performance of all its 
13.22 	legal obligations to consumer customers; and (2) a certificate of liability insurance in 
13.23 	the amount of $1,000,000 that provides aggregate coverage for the agency and each 
13.24 	subagency location. In the event of a policy cancellation, the insurer shall send written 
13.25 	notice to the commissioner at the same time that a cancellation request is received from 
13.26 	or a notice is sent to the insured;
13.27 	(d) the applicant has established a trust account as required by section 327B.08, 
13.28 	subdivision 3, unless the applicant states in writing its intention to limit its business to 
13.29 	selling, offering for sale, soliciting or advertising the sale of new manufactured homes; and
13.30 	(e) the applicant has provided evidence of having had at least two years' prior 
13.31 	experience in the sale of manufactured homes, working for a licensed dealer. The applicant 
13.32 	does not have to satisfy the two-year prior experience requirement if the applicant:
13.33 	(1) has met all other licensing requirements;
13.34 	(2) is the owner of a manufactured home park; and
13.35 	(3) is selling new manufactured homes installed in the manufactured home park 
13.36 	that the applicant owns.
