(A) The non-refundable annual license fee, payable to the Director of Public Safety at the time of initial or annual application, shall be $1,000 for each business location for the year or any part thereof ending on December 31 of each year. Additionally, a semi-annual non-refundable license fee of $200 shall be paid to the Director of Public Safety for each entertainment device on the premises during the following semi-annual period. The semi-annual license fee for each entertainment device shall be paid upon preliminary approval of the initial or annual application and no later than June 1 of each calendar year, or, if the entertainment device is brought to the premises following the payment of the semi-annual license fee, prior to such time as the entertainment device is brought to or operating on the premises. For purposes of determining licensing fees, each device that is operable by one or more persons is a separate device.
(B) Licenses issued under this chapter shall not be transferable to any other person, partnership, corporation or other entity and the business may be conducted only at the location for which the license is issued. The license must be so placed as to be made conspicuously visible and shall list each entertainment device with serial number. No new licenses shall be issued effective upon October 11, 2021.
(C) Failure to register any entertainment device before placement on the premises is an unclassified misdemeanor and the operators shall each be liable for a mandatory fine of $100 for each day the machine is not registered, and said fine shall not be reduced or suspended.
