  • (a)

    In addition to the other requirements set forth in this section an authorized organization, associational group or organization, charitable organization or lessor may only obtain a license when such entity or person can demonstrate that:

    (1)

    Such person or organization has been a resident of or maintained an office in the county for the last three years; and

    (2)

    Such person or organization agrees to conform to all provisions of this chapter.

    (b)

    Licenses shall be issued under the following classifications:

    (1)

    Class A license. A Class A license must be obtained by such an organization or group prior to conducting bingo pursuant to the provisions of this article, F.S. § 849.0931(2), or any applicable successor statute. Where a charitable organization, authorized organization or associational group, which intends to conduct bingo, and has more than one branch, chapter, lodge, agency or other local unit within the county, it shall make separate applications for a Class A license for each branch, chapter, lodge, agency or local unit within the county. Each licensed entity and/or location shall be subject to the applicable limitations contained in F.S. § 849.0931, as well as any additional requirements and/or limitations set forth in this article. A Class A license only authorizes the licensed charitable organization to conduct bingo pursuant to this article. Such license does not authorize the licensed organization to lease or sublease any premises owned or leased by it to any other person or organization for the purpose of conducting bingo, whether licensed under this article or not.

    (2)

    Class B license. A Class B license must be obtained by any person acting as a lessor to another person for the purpose of conducting bingo. Separate applications for a Class B permit must be made for each premises at which bingo is proposed to be conducted. A Class B license only authorizes the licensed person to lease each licensed premises to an organization or group holding a Class A license. A Class B license does not authorize the licensed person to conduct bingo. An organization or group holding a Class A license may also hold a Class B license.
