(a) Every licensee must keep a record of every item of drug paraphernalia, as that term is defined in Section 753.04, which is sold, and this record shall be open to the inspection of the Director of Public Safety, the Chief of Police and any police officer of the City at any time during the licensee's hours of business. Such record shall contain the name and address of the purchaser and the proper identification required at the time of purchase; the name and quantity of the item of drug paraphernalia; the date and time of the sale; and the signature of the licensee or the licensee's agent. Such record shall be retained by the licensee for a period of not less than two years.
(b) No permit holder, his agent or employee, may be found guilty of a violation of any section of this chapter in which age is an element of the offense, if the City or any court of record determines that the person buying, at the time of so doing, exhibited to the permit holder, his agent or employee, an operator's or chauffeur's license, or an identification card issued to adults not licensed to operate motor vehicles, under Ohio R.C. 4507.50, showing that such person was then of legal age to buy drug paraphernalia and if such permit holder, his agent or employee made a bona fide effort to ascertain the true age of the person buying by checking the identification presented at the time of the purchase, to ascertain that the description on the identification compared with the visual description of the buyer and that the identification presented had not been altered in any way and if the permit holder, his agent or employee had reason to believe that the person buying was of legal age.
