13-1905. SAME — PERMIT REQUIRED.
A QUALIFIED ORGANIZATION SHALL OBTAIN A WRITTEN PERMIT FROM THE
GOVERNING BODY OF THE COUNTY OR ITS DESIGNEE BEFORE CONDUCTING A
BENEFIT PERFORMANCE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the fourth sentence of former Art. 27, § 258B(a).
Defined terms: "Benefit performance" § 13-1901
"Qualified organization" § 13-1901
13-1906. SAME — FORM OF PRIZES.
AT A BENEFIT PERFORMANCE, A QUALIFIED ORGANIZATION MAY AWARD:
(1) A MERCHANDISE PRIZE; OR
(2) A MONEY PRIZE OF NOT MORE THAN $1,000 PER PRIZE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the third sentence of former Art. 27, § 258B(a), and the second
sentence, as it related to the form of prizes allowed at a benefit
performance.
In item (2) of this section, the reference to a "money" prize is substituted
for the former reference to a "cash" prize for consistency within this title.
Defined terms: "Benefit performance" § 13-1901
"Qualified organization" § 13-1901
13-1907. SAME — PROHIBITION; PENALTY.
A PERSON WHO CONDUCTS OR ATTEMPTS TO CONDUCT A BENEFIT
PERFORMANCE IN VIOLATION OF THIS SUBTITLE IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR
AND ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO IMPRISONMENT NOT EXCEEDING 1 YEAR OR A
FINE NOT EXCEEDING $1,000 OR BOTH.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the sixth sentence of former Art. 27, § 258B(a).
The former phrase "[e]xcept as otherwise provided in this section" is
deleted as unnecessary as there are no other provisions in the former
section relating to the penalties for operating or attempting to operate a
benefit performance.
The term "person" is substituted for the former phrase "person, company,
association or corporation" in light of § 1-101 of this article which states
that the term "person" includes business entities.
The former phrases "in jail" and "in the discretion of the court" are deleted
as implicit in setting a maximum penalty.
