§ 117.27 PROHIBITION AGAINST MINORS IN A SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESS.
   (A)   No person shall knowingly allow a person under the age of 18 years to be employed by a sexually oriented business nor shall any person knowingly allow a person under the age of 18 years to enter upon or remain upon the premises of a sexually oriented business nor shall a person knowingly allow a person under the age of 18 years to purchase any good or service from any sexually oriented business.
   (B)   No person under the age of 18 years shall be employed by a sexually oriented business nor shall any person under the age of 18 years enter upon or remain upon the premises of a sexually oriented business nor shall a person under the age of 18 years of age make any purchase of goods or services from any sexually oriented business.
   (C)   (1)   Each sexually oriented business shall insure that an employee is stationed as an attendant at each public entrance to the interior of the sexually oriented business at all times during such sexually oriented business’ regular business hours. The attendant shall prohibit any person under the age of 18 years from entering the sexually oriented business. For purposes of preventing the violation of this subsection, the sexually oriented business may refuse to permit entry to any person who is unable to produce adequate written evidence of identity and of the fact that he or she is 18 years or older.
      (2)   The licensee shall not permit entry of any person (except an employee of the sexually oriented business) into the sexually oriented business without first demanding and receiving from said person the presentation of some form of positive identification containing proof age 18 years or older issued by a public officer in the performance of his official duties. A reasonable belief by the licensee or his agent or his employee that a person is 18 years of age or over shall not be a defense to any action under this section unless said licensee, agent or employee shall have demanded and received some form of positive identification as above described that such person is 18 years of age or over.
      (3)   No person shall give or furnish to any person under the age 18 years any false or fraudulent written, printed, or photostatic evidence of the age and identity of such person nor shall any person give or furnish to any person under the age of 18 years evidence of age and identification of any other person; nor shall any person under the age of 18 years present or offer to any licensee, licensee’s agent or employee any written, printed or photostatic evidence of age and identity which is false, fraudulent, or not actually his own for the purposes of obtaining entry into an sexually oriented business, nor shall any person under the age of 18 years have in his or her possession any false or fraudulent written, printed or photostatic evidence of age and identity.
