Item 1

 
(1) The sole purpose of the club is to provide
noncommercial whitewater rafting opportunities to its
members;

 
(2) No member of the club, including officers and
board members, receives any form of compensation from
the club at any time, either while a member of the club
or afterwards;

 
(3) The club will use its own rafting equipment, and
all fees or dues collected from club members are used
only to provide insurance and to purchase and maintain
rafting equipment for use solely by the club; and

 
(4) The club will not employ or otherwise compensate
any person for any service relating to rafting or
accept any gifts of products or services from any
commercial whitewater outfitter or licensed whitewater
guide; and

 
C. Any other information the commissioner determines
necessary. If the club is an incorporated entity, the
commissioner shall require the club to submit a copy of the
club's articles of incorporation. The commissioner may not
consider any incorporated entity other than a tax-exempt,
nonprofit corporation as a noncommercial whitewater rafting
club.

 
When authorizing a noncommercial organization under this
section to conduct whitewater rafting trips without a commercial
license, the commissioner shall, when the commissioner determines
necessary, place limits on that organization's whitewater rafting
activities, including limits on the time and location of rafting
activities, the number of persons that may participate in those
rafting activities and the safety equipment required for rafting
trips. The commissioner may reject a request under this section
if the commissioner determines that granting the request would
conflict with the river management objectives set forth in
section 12903.

noncommercial organization under this section to conduct
whitewater rafting trips without a commercial license, the
commissioner shall, when the commissioner determines necessary,
