Haw. Code R. § 16-74-51 - Neurological examinations

(a) Any professional boxer who suffers a knockout by being counted out during a bout shall be required to take and pass a neurological examination before being permitted to box again. This requirement shall not apply to those cases where, in the professional judgment of the commission's physician, such an examination would serve no valid medical purpose given the cause of the knockout. The extent and type of tests involved in the neurological examination shall be determined by the commission's physician.

(b) The commission may also require professional boxers, who have received a severe pounding about the head during a bout, to take and pass a similar neurological examination as prescribed by the commission's physician before being permitted to box again.
