4. Any license, temporary work permit or other authorization issued
under the provisions of this article may be revoked or suspended by the
commission when the licensee, permittee or authorized entity has, in the
judgment of the commission, violated any provision of this article, rule

or order of the commission, demonstrated conduct detrimental to the

interest, or when the commission deems it to be in the best interests of
the health and safety of the licensee.

combative sport may, upon the recommendation of the attending commission

until he or she has met all requirements, medical and otherwise, for
reinstatement of such license. All such suspensions shall be recorded in
his or her license by a commission official.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if any other state
shall revoke a licensee's license to compete in combative sports in that

licensee pursuant to the provisions of this article.
