14 DE Reg 674 01-01-11
Statutory Authority: 24 Delaware Code, Section 1604 (24 Del.C. Â§1604)
Pursuant to 24 Del.C. Â§1604, the Commission on Adult Entertainment Establishments issues this Order adopting a proposed revision to its rules and regulations. Following notice and a public hearing on April 22, 2010, the Board makes the following findings and conclusions:
The Board posted public notice of the proposed amendment in the April 1, 2010 Register of Regulations and for two consecutive weeks in The News Journal and Delaware State News.
The amendment was proposed to add a definition of â€œsubstantial portionâ€ to the rules and regulations. This revision implements the recent amendment to the Commissionâ€™s licensing law, Chapter 16 of Title 24 of the Delaware Code, with respect to adult oriented retail establishments. The proposed rule change establishes a new Section 2.0 to the Commissionâ€™s rules and regulations titled â€œAdult Oriented Retail Establishmentsâ€ and adopts a new Rule 2.1 reading as follows:
The Commission has determined that as used in 24 Del.C. Â§1602(3) the term â€œsubstantial portionâ€ means fifty percent (50%) or more of the (i) retail floor space open to the public; or (ii) gross receipts earned by the retail establishment.
The public was given notice and an opportunity to provide the Board with comments in writing and by testimony on April 22, 2010, at the public hearing on the proposed amendment to the Boardâ€™s Rules.
The public was given notice and an opportunity to provide the Board with comments in writing and by testimony on April 22, 2010, at the public hearing. No comments were received by writing. One member of the public did provide comments that were received by testimony at the public hearing and considered by the Commission.
The Board concludes that the proposal should be adopted to establish a new Section 2.0 to the Commissionâ€™s rules and regulations titled â€œAdult Oriented Retail Establishmentsâ€ and adopt a new Rule 2.1 to provide a definition of â€œsubstantial portion.â€
The effective date of this Order will be ten (10) days from the publication of this Final Order in the Register of Regulations on January 1, 2011.
It is so ordered this 22nd day of April 2010.
James Nutter, Chairman
