(A) Every act or omission by an employee constituting a violation of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed the act or omission of the licensee if such act of omission occurs either with the authorization, knowledge or approval of the licensee, or as a result of the licensee's negligent failure to supervise the employee's conduct, and the licensee shall be punished for such act or omission in the same manner as if the licensee committed the act or caused the omission.
(B) Any act or omission of any employee constituting a violation of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed the act or omission of the licensee for purposes of determining whether the licensee's license shall be revoked, suspended or renewed.
(C) No employee of an adult oriented business shall allow any minor to loiter around or to frequent an adult oriented business or to allow any minor to view adult entertainment.
(D) The licensee shall maintain the premises in a clean and sanitary manner at all times.
(E) The licensee shall maintain at least 10 foot candles of light in the public portions of the establishment, including aisles, at all times. However, if a lesser level of illumination in the aisles shall be necessary to enable a patron to view the adult entertainment in a booth, room or cubicle adjoining an aisle, a lesser amount of illumination may be maintained in such aisles, provided, however, at no time shall there be less than 1 foot candle of illumination in said aisles as measured from the floor.
(F) All business transactions shall occur within the licensed building.
(G) No employee shall have been convicted of any felony involving moral turpitude, prostitution, obscenity or other crime of a sexual nature or involving the use of distribution of a controlled substance as defined by Minnesota laws, or the use or distribution of a dangerous weapon. The fact that a conviction may be under appeal shall not affect the disqualification of the employee.
(H) The operator shall ensure compliance of the establishment and its employees, contractors, and patrons with the provisions of the chapter.
