(a) Section 13-13.2(1) through (5) shall not apply to a person using a live animal to solicit on privately owned public property in the Waikiki special district when the person has the express written authorization of the property owner to conduct such solicitation on the property. For the purposes of this section, “privately owned public property” means public property under the possession of a private person through fee title, lease, easement grant, or other conveyance instrument and “property owner” means the private person in possession of the property or the person’s agent.
A person with such authorization from the property owner shall conduct the solicitation in compliance with subsection (b).
(b) When conducting the solicitation:
(1) Neither the person conducting the solicitation or any cage, table, stand, or other object owned or used by the person shall be on government-owned public property; and
(2) The person, upon the request of a police officer, shall immediately display to the officer the written authorization from the property owner.
(c) A person using a live animal to solicit on privately owned public property in the Waikiki special district, but without the express written authorization of subsection (a), shall be subject to § 13-13.2 (1) through (5).
