(b) A promoter or event organizer of an event regulated by the Department of Labor and Industry must pay, per event, a combative sport contest fee of $1,500 per event or four percent of the gross ticket sales, whichever is greater. The fee must be paid as follows:

(1) $500 at the time the combative sport contest is scheduled;

(4) the value of all complimentary tickets distributed for an event, to the extent they exceed five percent of total event attendance, counts toward gross tickets sales for the purposes of determining a combative sports contest fee. For purposes of this clause, the lowest advertised ticket price shall be used to calculate the value of complimentary tickets.

(c) All fees and penalties collected by the commissioner must be deposited in the commissioner account in the special revenue fund.
