(a) Reissuance. - Notwithstanding G.S. 18B-902(b) or G.S. 18B-903, if a nonprofit organization has received a limited special occasion permit pursuant to G.S. 18B-1001(9) or a special one-time permit pursuant to G.S. 18B-1002(a)(2) or (a)(5) within the previous 18 months, the Commission shall reissue the permit to the nonprofit organization if the same individual representing the organization requests reissuance of the permit for the same location. The Commission shall require only the following information in order to reissue the permit:

(1) The street address of the location where the event will take place.

(2) The county in which the event will take place.

(3) The date of the event.

(4) A description of the event.

(5) The name, address, date of birth, and contact information of the individual representing the nonprofit organization.
