§ 18870 Unlicensed Contest Promotion Ban

• •You need a special permission (license or permit) to organize or help with certain contests or matches.
• •If you hold, help with, or even try to hold such an event without this permission, you’re breaking the law.
• •Breaking this law can get you in trouble, like a misdemeanor charge.

If you organize a boxing match in your backyard and charge people to watch it, but you don’t get the right permit first.

You could get in trouble with the law because you didn’t get the required permission before holding the match.
