§ 40-10. Duties of solicitors.

(a)

Every solicitor shall, upon entering premises on which a residence is located, examine the main entrance to the premises for any no soliciting placard, and if one is posted, desist in any efforts to solicit or to leave any literature concerning the solicitation at that residence. Possession of a certificate of registration does not relieve any solicitor of this duty.

(b)

It is unlawful for any person to appear at any private residence and canvass or solicit whereon a placard bearing the words "No Soliciting" or words of similar import is posted for public view. Possession of a certificate of registration does not relieve any solicitor of this duty.

(c)

Any solicitor who is asked to leave any residence by the occupant shall immediately and peacefully depart. Possession of a certificate of registration does not relieve any solicitor of this duty.

(d)

Every solicitor shall at all times, while exercising the privilege in the city incident to the permit, carry upon his person his permit and the same shall be exhibited by such person whenever he is requested to do so by any police officer or by any person who is solicited.

(e)

Every solicitor and the entity or organization on whose behalf he is authorized to solicit shall report to the city or to the entity acting as its revenue processor the gross receipts of all sales made.
