§ 18.2-340.25. Permit required; application fee; form of application.
A. Except as provided for in § 18.2-340.23, prior to the commencement of any
charitable game, an organization shall obtain an annual a permit from the

Upon compliance by the applicant with the provisions of this article, and at the discretion of the Commission, a permit may be issued.
