   (A)   No person shall sell, hold for sale, offer for sale, or distribute or deliver fireworks in the city as a distributor or jobber unless such person is licensed as a distributor or jobber by the State of Nebraska and the city. No person shall be licensed as a distributor or jobber by the city unless such person shall register its state license with the city on a form provided by the city clerk for such purposes on or before April 1 in the calendar year in which such activity is to be conducted and shall first pay the license fee imposed by section 12-80(D); provided however the registration shall not be permitted to any distributor or jobber (including any affiliate, subsidiary or other organization that is, directly or indirectly, owned, operated or controlled by any such distributor or jobber or by any person or individual owning, operating or controlling such distributor or jobber) if a jobber's or distributor's license previously issued by the city has been revoked.
   (B)   In the event such date shall fall on a weekend or a day that is a holiday recognized by the city, registration shall be made by no later than the close of business on the first business day of the city following such date.

      (1)   Identification of the license number and the pertinent nature of the license issued by the state, and
      (2)   All other information requested by the city as may be appropriate in order that the city may ascertain that such distributor or jobber is in compliance with the applicable provisions of this code; provided that such information shall be considered the confidential proprietary information of the organization and of the applicant/distributor/jobber and not subject to disclosure to the extent permitted by law. Such registration shall be accompanied by payment, by certified check, of a license fee in the amount stated in the Master Fee Schedule.
