A Local Law entitled "Local Law Amending Section 175-12 of the Code of the Town of
Wappinger, `Restrictions', applicable to Hawkers and Peddlers in the Town of Wappinger".
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows:
Section I: Title: "Local Law Amending Section 175-12 of the Code of the Town of
Wappinger. `Restrictions', applicable to Hawkers and Peddlers in the Town of Wappinger"
This Local Law shall be known and cited as Local Law No. #9 of 1999, entitled
"Local Law Amending Section 175-12 of the Code of the Town of Wappinger, `Restrictions',
applicable to Hawkers and Peddlers in the Town of Wappinger" which shall amend the present
Section 175-12 as set forth below.
Section II: Legislative Intent:
The Town Board has determined that some of the existing restrictions imposed on licensed
hawkers and peddlers in the Town of Wappinger as set forth in the Code of the Town of Wappinger
at Section 175-12, are no longer required in order to promote the best interests of the Town's
residents. It is the determination of the Town Board that the existing restrictions, requiring that
hawkers and peddlers move after one (1) hour in a given location, result in the presence of hawking
and peddling activities in a greater number of locations than would otherwise be the case. To the
extent that hawkers and peddlers are otherwise in compliance with the restrictions on the location of
their activities, -it is the determination of the Town Board that the Town's residents are best served
by allowing such hawkers and peddlers to remain in a single location.

entirety following text, Section 175-12 A.(4):
