The new ordinance requires the application to be reviewed by the police department and the findings reported to the city council for approval or denial of a license.
Grounds for denying a license includes failure to disclose all information, applicant is under 21-years-old, has been convicted of any violation in the last five years, or prohibited to sell the product.
