§ 21-4. License application process.

(a)

No person shall solicit without first obtaining a license from Holland Charter Township. An application for such license shall be made to the township on the prescribed form(s).

(b)

If an application is filed on behalf of anyone other than a natural person, an application must be made for each agent or employee who will be soliciting in the township.

(c)

The applicant shall supply all of the information listed on the application before the application will be deemed complete.

(d)

All applicants will be subject to a background check, including without limitation, a review of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department, Michigan State Police, and sex offender records. If the applicant has any civil or criminal warrants outstanding, or has been convicted of any crime or offense that, in the township's sole discretion renders the applicant a potential threat to the general peace and safety of the township, the application will be denied. After any such denial, the applicant may re-apply only after the expiration of 60 days.

(e)

Unless the applicant is charged with any violation of local, state, or federal law subsequent to filing the application, all background checks shall be valid for a period of one year following the approval of the application.

(f)

During any period in which a person is licensed under this chapter, that person must inform the township of any and all changes to the information on their application and any event that would results in a change to the information produced in their background check.
