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 licensee if such act or omission occurs either with the authorization, knowledge, or approval of the licensee, or as a result of the licensee’s negligent failure to supervise the sexually oriented business establishment employee. The licensee shall be punished for any such act or omission in the same manner as if the licensee 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 licensee’s sexually oriented business establishment license shall be revoked, suspended, or renewed, to the act or omission of the licensee.
