(a) All licenses must be kept and posted in the following manner:
(1) Any licensee transacting and carrying on a business at a fixed place of business in the city of La Puente shall keep the license posted in a conspicuous place upon the premises where such business is transacted and carried on.
(2) Any licensee transacting and carrying on a business not at a fixed place of business in the city of La Puente shall keep the license upon his or her person at all times while transacting and carrying on such business.
(3) Any licensee to whom a license has been issued, which license is determined by the number of vehicles used by such licensee in the conduct of his or her business in the city of La Puente, shall attach to each such vehicle a sticker, device or sign issued by the business license officer for identifying such business. Such license shall not be construed to be a license for the operation of such vehicle, but it is to be construed as merely an identification confirming that the licensee has paid his or her business license tax to the city. In the event such licensee shall use a substitute or alternate vehicle for the vehicle normally carrying an identification device or sticker, such licensee may obtain an additional identification sticker for such substitute or alternate vehicle by filing an application with the business license officer stating that such substitute or alternate vehicle will not be used in the city on days where the regular vehicle or vehicles will be used in the city, accompanied by a fee established by a resolution adopted by the city council for each additional identification sticker.
(b) The business license officer, or his or her designee, city code enforcement officers, and representatives of the Los Angeles County Sheriff shall have the power and authority to enter free of charge and at any reasonable time any place of business required to be licensed herein and demand the exhibit of the business license. Any person having such license theretofore issued in his possession or under his or her control who willfully fails to exhibit the same on demand shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to the penalties provided for by the provisions of this chapter.
