A. It is unlawful for any person, company, or corporation to distribute handbills, circulars, dodgers, pamphlets, or samples in the city without first procuring a license in accordance with this chapter; and no license granted under this chapter shall authorize such distribution beyond the limit of time for which the license has been granted, and every such act shall constitute a distinct and separate offense. Such license is in addition to the general business registration required Chapter 6.05 BMC.

B. Any person, firm, or corporation desiring to obtain a license for the purpose of such distribution shall pay for a license to do so the sum of $5.00 per month, or the sum of $50.00 per year if the license is paid annually. No such license shall authorize the licensee to distribute samples of medicine or drugs within the city. The license shall protect the person, one member of the firm, or one officer of such corporation, respectively, and three assistants; provided, that any such assistant shall be accompanied while engaged in such work by such person, member of the first, or officer of the corporation, as the case may be.

C. The calendar year is adopted as a license year, and the licenses as provided for in this chapter shall be applied for, paid, and issued in the manner as now provided in Chapter 6.08 BMC for the issuance of license. [Ord. 2012-10-047 § 19; Code 1980 at § 15.28.010].
