Title 8: AMUSEMENTS AND SPORTS
Chapter 7: DANCES
§161. Licenses and fees
The following provisions govern the licensing of public dances.
[1997, c. 728, §1 (rpr).]
1. Law enforcement. A public dance at which minors are admitted may not be held in any pavilion, hall or other building unless a law enforcement
officer or, if permitted under local regulation or ordinance, a private security guard, licensed under Title 32, chapter 93,
is present during the dance and unless there are in such pavilion, hall or other building separate toilets for men and women.
This subsection does not apply to dances conducted by and for students in either public, private or state-owned school buildings
or municipally owned buildings.
[1997, c. 728, §1 (new).]
2. Posting of license. A building or any part of the building used for public dancing purposes, either habitually or occasionally, must have posted
at all times of dances a proper license obtained from the Commissioner of Public Safety.
[1997, c. 728, §1 (new).]
3. Application; inspection. The owner, lessee or tenant of the building shall apply for a license from the Commissioner of Public Safety. Upon receipt
of an application, the Commissioner of Public Safety or the commissioner's designee shall inspect the building, including
its entrances, exits, fire escapes and structural and fire safety. If the building complies with all laws and rules, the Commissioner
of Public Safety shall issue a license. The license must name the owner, the name of the hall, the location in the building
of the dance area and the capacity of this area for dancing.
[1997, c. 728, §1 (new).]
4. Scope; expiration. The license covers all dancing in the building or parts of the building as stated on the license. A dancing license expires
one year from the date of issue unless sooner revoked.
[1997, c. 728, §1 (new).]
5. Fee. The fee for a dancing license is $117. The fee must accompany the application for the license and is not refunded in those
cases in which the premises are inspected. Fees collected under this section must be deposited into a special revenue account
to carry out the purposes of this section. A fee is not required for the licensing of dances conducted by and for students
in public, private or state-owned school buildings or municipally owned buildings.
[2001, c. 437, §1 (amd); §8 (aff).]
6. Rules. The Commissioner of Public Safety shall adopt the necessary rules and regulations relative to the fire protection, fire
prevention and structural accident prevention governing the buildings in which public dances are held.
[1997, c. 728, §1 (new).]
