(2) “School-affiliated event” means an athletic event, play, musical, or any other school-related event or activity that a district or school conducts, sponsors, or participates in and for which a district or school charges admission to attend. “School-affiliated event” does not include any event or activity that is conducted in a public facility that is leased by a professional sports team or a privately-owned facility.

(C) Each qualifying school that offers concessions for sale at a school-affiliated event shall provide at least one location where an individual may pay cash for concessions and, if concessions are sold on multiple floors, at least one location on each floor that accepts cash payment.
