(A) Any person intending to be an employee at an adult entertainment establishment shall make application for an employee license with the Codes Enforcement Officer in accordance with this section. The application shall be in writing, notarized, and shall be in the form prescribed by the Codes Enforcement Officer and shall be deemed complete when it contains the following items:
(1) The legal name of the applicant;
(2) Any and all aliases or names used or to be used by the applicant in the course of prior, current or prospective appearances or performances as a dancer, performer or entertainer;
(3) The applicant’s mailing address where the Codes Enforcement Officer may contact the applicant;
(4) The applicant’s date of birth;
(5) A set of the applicant’s fingerprints suitable or a copy of a government-issued photo identification card;

(B) The applicant shall submit an annual license fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) with the application for an employee license and the Codes Enforcement Officer shall immediately issue a temporary employee license pending a final decision by the Codes Enforcement Officer to grant or deny the employee license. Within twenty (20) working days of the application, the Codes Enforcement Officer shall determine whether the applicant has been convicted of a specified criminal activity, as defined in this chapter. If no record of such conviction is found, the Codes Enforcement Officer shall issue an annual employee license. The license so granted shall expire on June 30 of each year and shall be annually reissued by the Codes Enforcement Officer upon application therefor by the employee unless the Codes Enforcement Officer confirms that the applicant has been convicted of any of the above-described offenses. In the event the Codes Enforcement Officer confirms a conviction of a proscribed offense, he or she shall issue the applicant a notice of intent to deny the employee license. Application for a renewal license shall be made at least ninety (90) days, and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days, prior to expiration of the employee’s current license. Within thirty (30) days after the effective date of this chapter, no person shall be an employee at an adult entertainment establishment without having obtained the license required by this section.
