			 all contestants, promoters, and officials shall be under the direction of the
			 commission and its inspectors at all times.
(c) Direct or indirect financial interest in
			 any contest, performance, or contestant by any licensee or by any employee of
			 the commission, including any inspector, shall be prohibited. The inspector

			 ticket taker an admission ticket, pass, or complimentary ticket, the ticket
			 taker immediately deposits the ticket or pass in a securely locked box. The
			 locked box may be opened only in the presence of an inspector, who shall ensure
			 that all tickets and passes are carefully counted and reported to the
			 commission, along with the price of admission charged for each type of ticket,
			 the number of tickets exchanged and the value of each exchanged ticket, and the
			 gross receipts from all ticket sales and exchanges.
(d) Before the start of each contest, each
			 contestant, promoter, and official shall present to the inspector a valid
			 license issued by the commission to that contestant, promoter, or official. If
			 a contestant, promoter, or official does not have a current license issued by
			 the commission, that contestant, promoter, or official shall not participate in
			 the contest until a complete application and the applicable fee have been
			 submitted to the commission and the appropriate license has been issued by the
			 commission.

			 be admitted to the dressing rooms at the designated time for weighing in
			 contestants and inspecting all equipment. The inspector shall examine and
			 approve each hand wrapping placed on a contestant.

			 inspector shall provide an interpretation of the application of the act or
			 these regulations, or both, with respect to any disputed issue.

			 are no regulations in place that address a particular set of circumstances
			 during a contest, the chief inspector assigned to the contest shall decide how
			 the contest is to be conducted under those circumstances. The chief inspector
			 shall advise the referee of the inspector's decision, and the referee shall
			 carry out the referee's duties in accordance with the chief inspector's
			 decision. The decision of the chief inspector shall be final.
(h) No licensee shall interfere with the
			 inspector's duties, make threats of physical harm towards the inspector, or use
			 foul language that is directed towards the inspector.
