(A) A board of township trustees may, by resolution, require the registration of all
transient vendors within the unincorporated territory of the township and may regulate
the time, place, and manner in which these vendors may sell, offer for sale, or solicit

residence at which the owner or tenant has posted a sign on the property prohibiting
solicitation or for which the owner or tenant has filed a no solicitation registration
form with the township, on a form prescribed by the board. If the board requires the registration of all transient vendors, it may establish
a reasonable registration fee, not to exceed one hundred fifty dollars for a registration
period, and this registration shall be valid for a period of at least ninety days
after the date of registration. Any board of township trustees that provides for the registration and regulation of
transient vendors under this section shall notify the prosecuting attorney of the

by a board of township trustees under this division. This division does not authorize a board of township trustees to apply a resolution

the owner's or tenant's premises to sell, offer for sale, or solicit orders for future
delivery of goods. (B) As used in this section: (1) “ Goods ” means goods, wares, services, merchandise, periodicals, and other articles or publications. (2) “ Transient vendor ” means any person who opens a temporary place of business for the sale of goods or
