[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Brookhaven 6-16-1987
by L.L. No. 7-1987. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the intention of the Town Board of the Town of Brookhaven that,
to preserve and protect the public order, safety and welfare, certain relevant
information relative to each applicant for a license or permit required by
ordinance or local law be made available to the Town pursuant to an agreement
executed on or about June 14, 1977, with the New York State Division of Criminal
Justice Services.
[Amended 7-19-2005 by L.L. No. 16-2005,
effective 7-27-2005]
A.
Applications for all licenses and permits required by
ordinance or local law shall be made, in writing, to the Town Clerk of the
Town of Brookhaven in the absence of any provision to the contrary. Each application
shall state the name of the applicant, the license or permit desired, the
location to be used, if any, and the fee to be paid. Each application shall
also contain such additional information as may be deemed necessary and appropriate.
B.
Fingerprints of each applicant for peace officer employee
certification, taxicab owner and operators, tow truck owner and operators,
carting company principals and peddlers' permits, who remain active with
the Town of Brookhaven, may be taken in duplicate by the Commissioner of Public
Safety or his designee. The Commissioner of Public Safety or his designee
will be responsible for obtaining and reviewing criminal history record information
disseminated by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.
One copy of such fingerprints may be attached to such application filed with
the Department of Public Safety. The other copy may be forwarded without delay
to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services for processing
and be placed on a search-and-retain basis in order to receive notification
of an arrest that may occur after the issuance of license, permit or certification.
C.
Any such license, permit or certification may be revoked
or denied to any applicant who has been convicted of a felony or a crime involving
an act or acts of moral turpitude and would disqualify an applicant from employment
or licensure if the disability has not been removed, as provided in the Correction
Law.

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or item of this chapter
shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such

or item directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall
have been rendered.
