Every act or omission by a sexually oriented business establishment employee constituting a violation of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to be the act or omission of the registrant if such act or omission occurs either with the authorization, knowledge, or approval of the registrant, or as a result of the registrant's negligent failure to supervise the sexually oriented business establishment employee. The registrant shall be punished for any such act or omission in the same manner as if the registrants committed the act or caused the omission. Accordingly, any such act or omission of any such employee constituting a violation of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed, for purposes of determining whether the registrant's sexually oriented business establishment registration shall be revoked, suspended, or renewed, to be the act or omission of the registrant.
