(a) No promoter shall hold or conduct any outdoor musical festival where spectators will be present without first obtaining permits from the Division of Public Health, or its successor and the Superintendent of the State Police, except that in incorporated municipalities of more than 5,000 persons the chief of police of that incorporated area shall be the person to issue such permit instead of the Superintendent of the State Police.

(1) The promoters post a cash bond in an amount to be determined by the Division, not to exceed $50,000; and
