Explanation
The purpose of this legislation is to update and modernize the Peddler code for the regulation of commercial sales promoters, peddlers, solicitors and canvassers. This legislation will change the name of the code chapter to Commercial Sales License, which better reflects regulating sales on private property and in the public right-of-way. It will also ensure public safety by providing detailed operating restrictions, proper personal identification and require that sales do not obstruct the right-of-way.
