Any person keeping, maintaining and/or operating a secondhand metal business and/or lawfully conducting the business of a dealer in secondhand metals on the effective date of this chapter shall be entitled to a license hereunder, provided that he/she files a complete application for a license with all necessary documentation within 10 days from the effective date of this chapter, pays the required license fee therefor, and complies in all respects with the provisions and requirements of this chapter.
A. 
The governing body may revoke any license issued to a dealer in secondhand metals in accordance with this chapter if, after notice and a hearing, the governing body finds:
(1) 
The person or business entity to whom the license was issued violated any of the provisions of this chapter, any other provision of the Code of the Township of Haddon or any law of the State of New Jersey in the operation of the business for which the license was issued. Conviction of a violation of this chapter in accordance with § 156-15 shall be conclusive proof of a violation of this chapter for purposes of this section;
(2) 
After the issuance of the license, it is learned that the person to whom the license was issued has been convicted of or has pleaded guilty to any offense related to theft, burglary, or purchasing or receiving stolen items under the laws of this state, the Township or any other jurisdiction; or has been convicted of an offense involving breach of trust, moral turpitude or fraudulent or dishonest dealing; or has had a final judgment entered against him in a civil action upon grounds of fraud, misrepresentation or deceit. For purposes of this section, a conviction for receiving or possessing stolen property entered after issuance of a license hereunder shall be sufficient cause for revocation of a license issued pursuant to this chapter and immediate closure or shut down of the business licensed under such license;
(3) 
The person or business entity to whom the license was issued knowingly furnished false or misleading information or withheld relevant information on any application for a license required by this chapter or with respect to any investigation authorized by § 156-5B;
(4) 
The person to whom the license was issued has become insolvent or has acted in a way that indicates the licensee's business is not being operated in a financially responsible manner;
(5) 
The person to whom the license was issued has demonstrated unworthiness, incompetence, and faith or dishonesty in transacting business or otherwise; or
(6) 
The person to whom the license was issued has engaged in any other conduct which would be deemed by the governing body to be grounds to deny or revoke a license.
B. 
Hearing on written complaint; notice procedures. Upon the receipt of a written complaint delivered to the Township Clerk by any municipal official or by any resident of the Township of Haddon, the governing body shall schedule a hearing to determine whether a license issued pursuant to this chapter should be revoked. The Township Clerk shall provide the licensee that is the subject of such complaint with a notice of hearing and copy of the written complaint. The notice of hearing shall set forth the date and time of the hearing, which shall be at least 10 days from the date of such notice.
C. 
Effect of revocation.
(1) 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the effect thereof, any person to whom a license was issued who is found to have obtained a license in accordance with this chapter by intentionally furnishing the Township with false or misleading information on the license application shall, upon the discovery thereof, suffer an immediate revocation of such license.
(2) 
Upon revocation of a license issued pursuant to this chapter, all fees paid by the licensee shall be deemed to be forfeited and shall be retained by the Township with no right for return of any portion thereof.
In addition to any other remedy provided for in this chapter or elsewhere in the Code of the Township of Haddon, including, without limitation, the right of revocation set forth in § 156-14 above, any person who violates any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction therefor, be punished by a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $1,000, by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both. A violation of one or more provisions of this chapter shall each be deemed a separate offense. Each day a violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense.
