If offering or providing escorts within the county, an escort service must notify the county manager or designee of an authorized physical commercial location, which may or may not be within the county, from where the escort service operates and dispatches escorts.

(2)

Include in all advertising or promotional literature posted, placed, published, or distributed within the county the valid adult entertainment establishment license number issued by the county manager or designee unless the escort service does not refer, send, or dispatch escorts to any location within the jurisdictional limits of the county.

(3)

Ensure that every escort and worker of an escort service is provided or obtains, carries while working as an escort, and displays upon the request of any law enforcement officer, a business tax receipt to engage in the occupation of escort within the county. Exception: an escort or worker of an escort service who is a paid employee for whom taxes and social security payments are withheld and paid by the escort service, and who is not an independent contractor, may substitute and carry a copy of the adult entertainment escort service license of the employing escort service.
