A. It is unlawful for any person to engage in the business of a handbill distributor for hire or otherwise, or for any person to distribute commercial or noncommercial handbills, without first complying with the terms of this chapter, and all other relevant laws and regulations; provided, that nothing contained in this chapter shall apply to any person advertising his business or activity upon his own premises, if such business or activity is regularly established at a definite location in such city, and also if a license has been obtained therefor, if such license be required under the terms of any applicable law or ordinance.
B. Any person desiring to engage, as principal, in the business of distributing commercial or noncommercial handbills for hire or otherwise, shall make application to and receive from the city clerk a license. Such request shall contain, among other things that may be required, the name, the business address, and a brief description of the nature of the business to be conducted by the applicant, the probable number of agents and employees so to be engaged, together with a request for a license for the period for which this applicant seeks to engage in such business.
C. Without excluding other just grounds for revocation, the city council, may revoke any license obtained under an application containing a false or fraudulent statement knowingly made by the applicant with intent to obtain a license by means of false or fraudulent representations, or for violation of this chapter, or any other ground specified by law. No license issued under this chapter shall be transferrable.
