A. Upon the filing of a properly completed application and the payment of the fee, the Police Chief is authorized to conduct an investigation of the application, including a background check of the applicant and all employees and independent contractors. All applicants for a regulatory permit and employee permit shall be required to submit to a fingerprint-based criminal history records check conducted by the Porterville Police Department.
B. For employee permits, after the background checks and investigation are complete, and in no case later than thirty (30) days after receipt of a properly completed application, the Police Chief shall either approve or deny an employee permit. At the discretion of the Police Chief, employee permits may be conditionally approved pending the background investigation. (Ord. 1853, 5-7-2019)
