[HISTORY: Comes from L.L.
No. 61-1979, adopted 7-10-1979, effective 7-16-1979.]
This chapter is enacted in accordance with a policy requirement
of the Division of Criminal Justice Services of the State of New York
as a prerequisite for the Town Clerk of the Town of Hempstead to apply
for and obtain criminal history records of applicants who apply for
licenses under chapters herein, which relate to soliciting, peddling,
operating taxi cabs and tow cars and other activities requiring an
investigation of the applicant before a license is issued.
In order to determine the kind of past conduct which would preclude
any applicant from obtaining a license, the following criteria shall
aid in such determination:
A.
Where
an applicant has been convicted of any offense against any of the
laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of the State of New York, County
of Nassau, Town of Hempstead or other municipality.
B.
Where
an applicant has been found by any court of the State of New York
to have practiced any fraud, deceit or misrepresentation in the conduct
of any occupation, business or profession.
C.
Where
an applicant has had his license, which was duly issued under any
of the chapters herein, revoked at any time during the year prior
to the time of an application for a renewal thereof.
D.
Where
an applicant has had his license, which was duly issued under any
of the chapters herein, suspended, and the period of such suspension
has not expired at the time of his application for such license.
The Town Clerk shall secure the applicant's fingerprints
and his check or money order made payable to the New York State Division
of Criminal Justice Services, to cover the cost of searching, and
shall thereupon forward the fingerprints and funds in the required
amount for the processing and return of a criminal history record.
