# O.C.G.A. § 10-1-833. Exemptions from bond requirements.

No bond shall be required from nonprofit organizations, bona fide civic clubs in existence for at least one year, churches, religious organizations, and groups, fairs, or festivals affiliated with schools or political subdivisions, or from any other pageant which confers no benefit upon any participant other than any or all of the following: a beauty title, a crown, a trophy, a ribbon, or a sash. To be exempt from Code Section 10-1-832 under this Code section, pageants conducted by individuals or businesses to raise funds for nonprofit organizations shall award 100 percent of the moneys generated by the pageant to the nonprofit organization and the nonprofit organization may, if previously agreed, then pay the expenses incurred in producing the pageant.
