What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits a person from providing martial arts instruction to a minor

for a fee without a license granted by the Department of Regulation and Licensing

(DRL). Under the bill, "martial arts instruction" means instruction in self-defense

or combat, but not instruction in the use of a firearm, bow and arrow, or crossbow.

Under the bill, the Department of Justice must conduct a criminal background check

on a person who applies for a license. DRL must grant a license to an applicant who

pays a fee, if DRL determines that the applicant has not been convicted of certain

disqualifying offenses specified in the bill, including certain violent crimes, crimes

against children, and drug crimes.
