§ 5-33.01. Business tax receipt required.

It shall be unlawful for any person to conduct or allow to be conducted, a party for which an admission fee of any kind is required or requested, on property owned, occupied or controlled by them, without first having obtained a business tax receipt as defined in Title 3, Chapter 1 of this Code, except however, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to the conducting of fund-raising activities the net proceeds of which are reportable as political contributions under Title 2, U.S.C., Section 434 or Title 9, Chapter 4, Articles 1 and 2 of the California Political Reform Act, commencing at Section 84100 of the California Government Code, or by organizations which have registered with the City as a bona fide charitable, religious, or nonprofit organization pursuant to Section 3-1.112 of this Code. The distribution of flyers or other promotional materials which make reference to an admission requirement is prima facie evidence of a party for which a business tax receipt is necessary.
