A person commits an offense if he operates a motor vehicle as
an escort for hire upon the streets of the city without obtaining
an escort chauffeur’s license issued by the chief of police.
Application for an escort chauffeur’s license shall be made
to the chief of police upon blanks to be furnished by the chief of
police, giving the name, age, present address, place and address of
employment during the past two years, with the reasons for leaving
employment, if any. The applicant shall submit a recent photograph
of the applicant with the application and shall possess and show a
valid state driver’s license with motorcycle endorsement.

A to this code. An escort chauffeur’s license shall expire one year from the date of issuance and shall not be transferable; however, the holder may use the same license if the holder changes employment from one motor vehicle escort agency to another.
