It shall be the duty of any person engaging in soliciting within the Village to wear in a conspicuous place on his or her outer garment the badge issued by the Chief of Police. It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in soliciting within the Village without wearing and displaying such badge. Every solicitor shall, prior to engaging in soliciting regulated under this Chapter, be issued a badge bearing the words "Registered Orland Park" or words of similar impact, together with a serial number, which number shall be registered by the Chief of Police. As a condition to receiving such badge and to secure its return, such solicitor shall deposit with the Village the sum of fifty dollars ($50.00). Each solicitor, upon expiration of his/her license to solicit in the Village, shall surrender the badge to the Chief of Police and upon doing so the Village shall refund the fifty dollar ($50.00) dollar deposit. If the badge is not so returned, or is returned in damaged condition to the extent that it cannot be reused, said deposit shall be forfeited to the Village. In the event any such badge is lost, stolen or destroyed, a report of such fact shall be made to the Chief of Police and the deposit shall be forfeited to the Village. Failure to return a badge or returning it in a damaged condition shall be cause for the Chief of Police to deny a future solicitor license to the solicitor for a period of up to one (1) year and to increase the deposit for future badges to one hundred dollars ($100.00).Failure to report the loss or destruction of a badge shall be cause to deny a future license to solicit.
