Analysis
This ordinance provides that:

An applicant for an ice cream peddler license, escort license, direct seller license or public passenger vehicle driver’s license shall be required to submit only one photograph of the applicant to the city clerk with the license application, rather than 2 photographs, as currently required. Also, a photograph or other graphic representation shall no longer be required as part of an application for a pushcart.
2. Consistent with provisions for other license types, no pawnbroker’s license or secondhand dealer’s license shall be issued unless the applicant has continuously resided in Wisconsin for at least 90 days prior to the date of application (the current requirement is one year).
