Fulton Same—Issuance and revocation ordinance (§ 14-20)

(a) After an application for a license pursuant to section 14-19 is filed, the licensing authority or his designee shall inspect the facility prior to issuing the license. The licensing authority may revoke any license if the person holding the license refuses or fails to comply with this chapter, the regulations promulgated by the licensing authority or any law governing the protection and keeping of animals.

(b) Any person whose license is revoked shall within ten days thereafter humanely dispose of all animals owned, kept or harbored. No part of the license fee shall be refunded.

(c) It shall be a condition of the issuance of any such license that the licensing authority shall be permitted to inspect all animals and the premises where animals are kept at any time and shall, if permission for such inspection is refused, revoke the license of the refusing owner.

(d) If the applicant has withheld or falsified any information on the application, the licensing authority shall refuse to issue a license and shall have authority to revoke any such license already issued.

(e) No person who has been convicted of cruelty to animals shall be issued a license to operate a commercial animal establishment.

(f) Any person having been denied such license may not reapply for a period of 30 days. Each reapplication shall be accompanied by a fee established by the city council from time to time.
