The Mayor and Common Council of the Town of Hammonton shall make an investigation of the qualifications of each applicant and the merits of each application as authorized and directed by the Amusement Games Licensing Law. Each individual applicant, the officers, directors and stockholders (including the officers, directors and stockholders of any corporation holding 5% or more of the capital stock) of any corporate applicant, as well as the partners or members, as the case may be, of any partnership, association or organization applicant, shall be fingerprinted under the supervision of the Municipal Chief of Police. The fingerprint records so obtained shall be marked "Applicant" and shall be submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the New Jersey State Police Bureau of Identification; and, upon receipt of returns from such Bureaus, the Chief of Police shall make a report thereof to the Mayor and Common Council of the Town of Hammonton, together with a report of any other arrest or conviction record which may be obtained from other sources. Failure or refusal of any of the above-designated persons to submit to fingerprinting shall be deemed cause for denial of the application. No license shall be issued to any applicant if any of the above persons required to be fingerprinted in connection with the application are not of good moral character or have ever been convicted of a crime, unless the disqualification resulting from such conviction has been removed by the Commissioner of Amusement Games Control pursuant to Chapter 200 of the Public Laws of 1962 (N.J.S.A. 5:8-102, 5:8-103 and 5:8-105).
