§ 8-112. Application for license; fee; holding multiple licenses; transfer

(a) All hawkers, peddlers, itinerant vendors and persons selling or offering for sale any goods, wares or merchandise whatsoever, including any food or beverage, as described in section 8-111, shall make application to the town council for a license. Such application shall be made even if such applicant holds a state license as provided in G.L. 1956, § 5-11-1 et seq. The town council may approve or disapprove the issuance of any license, having in mind the location of the operation, if stationary, and the safety and welfare of the public at large, if the operation is not stationary.

(b) If approved by the town council, the town clerk shall issue a license to sell the articles or substances mentioned in section 8-111 upon the payment of a fee of $50.00. Licenses shall be issued in the name of one individual, company or corporation and for one location, if stationary, or one vehicle, cart or other conveyance if not stationary. No license where food products are involved shall be issued until all approvals required by the state department of health are obtained.

(c) No more than one license may be issued to any one person and no such license may be transferred to any other person, nor may it be used at more than one location.
