§ 5400 Organizing Permit Fund Collection

• •You can't collect money from people to start a group until you get permission from the government.
• •You must apply for a permit first and wait for it to be approved before taking any money.
• •An 'organizer' is someone who promises to give money to help start the group.

You and your friends want to start a club that needs money to rent a place and buy supplies.

You can't ask your friends for money to start the club until you get a permit from the government. If you collect money before getting the permit, you're breaking the law.
