Title
Amending Sections 9.13(3) and 9.13(7)(h)5.c. of the Madison General Ordinances to add a requirement that Basic Street Vendor License holders selling tickets also obtain a photo identification badge.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: Section 9.13(3) is amended to include a new photo ID requirement for basic street vendor license holders who sell tickets. The photo identification would be required to be displayed while the vendor is selling tickets. An ID badge will easily identify licensed sellers from individuals selling tickets without the required license. Section 9.13(7)(h)5.c. is amended to include the identification badge requirement.
