(a) Evidence that a sleeping room in a hotel, motel, or a similar commercial establishment has been rented and vacated two or more times in a period of time that is less than ten (10) hours creates a rebuttable presumption that the establishment is an adult motel as that term is defined in this chapter.
(b) A person commits a minor misdemeanor if, as the person in control of a sleeping room in a hotel, motel, or a similar commercial establishment that does not have a Sexually Oriented Business License, he/she rents or subrents a sleeping room to a person, and within ten (10) hours from the time the room is rented, he/she rents or subrents the same sleeping room again.
(c) For the purposes of subsection (b), the terms “rent” or “subrent” mean the act of permitting a room to be occupied for any form of consideration.
