The Board repealed the existing Cowlitz County Code chapter 5.10 (music festivals) and approved amendments, primarily to increase and update insurance requirements to align with state regulations.

Cowlitz County on Tuesday approved an amendment to county code Chapter 5.10 governing music festivals, primarily changing insurance requirements to align with state regulations.

"We would be repealing the current chapter 5.1 o music festivals and making changes primarily to the insurance requirements," she said, adding the code was put in effect several years ago and needed updates.
