A member of the Ohio athletic commission may grant a license at any time prior to the beginning of a public boxing match or exhibition to an applicant from another state who wishes to participate as specified in section 3773.41 of the Revised Code and who furnishes satisfactory proof to the member that the applicant holds a license that is not under suspension, revocation, or other disciplinary action, if the license was issued by an agency that is similar to the commission, is a member of the association of boxing commissions, and has licensing requirements that are at least as stringent as those established by the commission.
