This article 11.8 is intended to provide minimum standards for the licensing of escort bureaus, escorts, and escort bureau runners. Nothing in this article 11.8 shall prohibit a local government from enacting an ordinance providing more stringent standards for such licensing, but such ordinance shall meet the minimum standards established by this article 11.8. To the extent that this article 11.8 directs implementation by local governments, all such implementing actions may be accomplished by resolution or by ordinance; and such implementing action shall be required upon a request to the local governing body for an application for a license to operate within the jurisdiction of the local governing body. Such a request shall not be acted upon until the implementing action by resolution or ordinance has been accomplished.
