Editor's Note: A statement of legislative intent, which appeared as § 118-0 of this local law as originally enacted, reads as follows:
"In this chapter, the Town of Hempstead seeks to update its regulation of peddlers and solicitors through more extensive licensing procedures and identification requirements. The Town recognizes that frauds have been perpetrated, nuisances committed and occasional outright criminal conduct occurs under the guise of peddling or house-to-house canvassing. The Town, however, also recognizes that peddling and soliciting are established forms of business conduct. It is expected that the revision of this chapter will curb unlawful practices and safeguard the residents of the Town of Hempstead."
