§ 9:116. Insurance and bond.  


Latest version.
  • In addition to compliance with the regulations prescribed hereinabove and the regulations established by any other applicable ordinance of the city-parish, every applicant for a permit under the provisions of this part shall furnish evidence that a public liability insurance policy in amounts not less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) for one person and five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) for any one accident shall be in force and effect at the time and on the site where the place of business or establishment is to be conducted. The applicant for a license or permit hereunder shall further furnish a cash or surety bond in the minimum sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), conditioned upon saving harmless the city-parish from any and all liability or causes of action which might arise by virtue of the granting of a permit hereunder, and conditioned further that no damage shall be done to the streets, sewers, sidewalks or other public ways, trees or adjoining property, and that no dirt, paper, litter or other debris will be permitted to remain upon the streets or upon any private property by the person to whom the license or permit is issued; provided that where the anticipated maximum attendance is five thousand (5,000) or greater, the bond shall be three thousand dollars ($3,000.00), and where the anticipated maximum attendance is ten thousand (10,000) or greater, the bond shall be seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.00). Such surety bond shall be canceled or the cash bond returned to the applicant upon the satisfaction of the chief of the inspection division that all the conditions of this part have been complied with.

    This section has been amended to waive the cash bond requirement for the Baton Rouge Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Louisiana Naval War Commission.
