§ 4-34. Additional regulations for adult motels.

(a)

Evidence that a sleeping room in a hotel, motel, or similar commercial establishment has been rented and vacated two or more times in a period of time that is less than ten hours creates a rebuttable presumption that the establishment is an adult motel as that term is defined in this article.

(b)

A person commits an offense if, as the person in control of a sleeping room in a hotel, motel, or similar commercial establishment that does not have a sexually oriented business license, he rents or sub-rents a sleeping room to a person and, within ten hours from the time the room is rented, he rents or sub-rents the same sleeping room again.

(c)

For purposes of subsection (b) of this section, the terms rent or sub-rent mean the act of permitting a room to be occupied for any form of consideration.
