[Ord. 2009-19, 7/13/2009, § 1]
1. 
Purpose. Pursuant to the authority granted in the Second Class Township Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to prohibit nuisances; to promote the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of East Nottingham Township (the "Township"); and to regulate places of public entertainment, amusement and recreation, East Nottingham Township enacts this Part to minimize and control the adverse effects of adult entertainment businesses (defined below) and thereby protect the health, safety and welfare of its citizens; protect the citizens' property values and character of surrounding neighborhoods; and deter the spread of blight.
2. 
Findings: The Board of Supervisors finds:
A. 
Adult entertainment businesses have operational characteristics which should be reasonably regulated in order to protect those substantial governmental concerns.
B. 
A reasonable licensing procedure is an appropriate mechanism to effect reasonable regulation of the owners and the operators of adult entertainment businesses. Further, such a licensing procedure will place a heretofore nonexistent incentive on the operators to see that the adult entertainment business is run in a manner consistent with the health, safety and welfare of its patrons and employees, as well as the citizens of the Township. It is appropriate to require reasonable assurances that the licensee (defined below) is the actual operator of an adult entertainment business, fully in possession and control of the premises and activities occurring therein.
C. 
Requiring licensees of adult entertainment businesses to keep information regarding current employees and certain past employees will help reduce the incidence of certain types of criminal behavior by facilitating the identification of potential witnesses or suspects and by preventing minors from working in adult entertainment businesses.
D. 
The disclosure of certain information by those persons ultimately responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the adult entertainment business, where such information is substantially related to the significant governmental interest in the operation of such uses, will aid in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
E. 
It is desirable in the prevention of the spread of sexually transmitted diseases to obtain a limited amount of information regarding certain employees who may engage in the conduct which this Part is designed to prevent or who are likely to be witnesses to such activity.
F. 
The fact that an applicant for an adult entertainment business license has been convicted of a sexually related crime leads to the rational assumption that the applicant is likely to engage in that conduct in contravention of this Part.
G. 
The barring of such individuals from the management of adult uses for a period of years serves as a deterrent to and prevents conduct which leads to the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
H. 
The general health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Township will be promoted by the enactment of this Part.

[Ord. 2009-19, 7/13/2009, § 15]
Any person, partnership or corporation who or which has violated any provision of this Part shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by the Township, pay a judgment of not more than $500 plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Township as a result thereof. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the Township may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable rule of civil procedure. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation, unless the district justice determining that there has been a violation further determines that there was a good faith basis for the person, partnership or corporation violating this Part to have believed that there was no such violation, in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation until the fifth day following the date of the determination of a violation by district justice and thereafter each day that a violation continues shall constitute a respective violation.
