Application shall be made to the Village Clerk, and no such center or store shall be operated without such license being available for inspection at all times.
Licenses will only be issued to responsible persons over 21 years of age and shall not be issued to any persons with a record of a conviction of a felony, a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude and/or violations relating to possession, use or sale of drugs or regulated substances; unless such person can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the issuing officer that he or she is rehabilitated and has been without further charges for a reasonable time after such conviction.
