     On page 6, after line 12, insert the following:

"Sec. 4   RCW 67.08.050 and 2009 c 429 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
     (1) Any promoter shall within seven days prior to the holding of any event file with the department a statement setting forth the name of each licensee who is a potential participant, his or her manager or managers, and such other information as the department may require. Participant changes regarding a wrestling event may be allowed after notice to the department, if the new participant holds a valid license under this chapter. The department may stop any wrestling event in which a participant is not licensed under this chapter.
     (2) Upon the termination of any event the promoter shall file with the designated department representative a written report, duly verified as the department may require showing the number of tickets sold for the event, the price charged for the tickets and the gross proceeds thereof, and such other and further information as the department may require. The promoter shall pay to the department at the time of filing the report under this section an event fee to be determined by the director pursuant to RCW 67.08.105. However, the event fee may not be less than twenty-five dollars. A promoter is not required to pay an event fee for promoting an amateur event as defined in RCW 67.08.010(18)(g). The event fee and license fees collected under this chapter shall be paid by the department into the business and professions account under RCW 43.24.150."

     Renumber the remaining sections consecutively, correct any internal references accordingly, and correct the title.

EFFECT:  A promoter is not required to pay an event fee for promoting an amateur event sponsored by a licensed amateur sanctioning organization where the officials and participants are all licensed.
