A license to hold an assembly issued to one person shall permit any person to engage in any lawful activity in connection with the holding of the licensed assembly.
Any individual natural human being, partnership, corporation, firm, company, association, society or group.
Separate license required; fee. A separate license shall be required for each day and each location in which 1,000 or more people assemble or can reasonably be anticipated to assemble; the fee for each license shall $100.
