Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter covers two kinds of businesses. Article II regulates adult entertainment businesses (strip clubs, adult bookstores and theaters, and similar) — where they can locate, their hours, permits for owners and workers, and a ban on alcohol. Article III sets licensing and operating rules for pool rooms, game rooms, billiard halls and internet cafes, including hours, rules for minors, and a ban on gambling.
All internet cafes shall be open to view and accessible to the public, and no computers shall be placed in a private room or any portion of the business closed off to the public or to the rest of the building by doors or partitions of any kind. Windows shall not be blackened or covered with closed blinds, curtains or anything which interferes with visibility through the window. The operation of all internet sites shall be subject to electronic visual surveillance at all times. Videotapes, DVDs or any other recording shall be maintained by the establishment for a period of not less than 30 days. Transactions of any kind shall be made subject to electronic visual surveillance.
