The Mobile City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 34-047, creating a local excise tax and requiring business licenses for the sale of consumable vapor products within the city of Mobile and its police jurisdiction. The council moved for immediate consideration of the ordinance and approved it during the Sept. 30 meeting.

Council President Small opened the item when the clerk read the ordinance as ‘‘34 0 47, ordinance to levy a local excise tax and require business licenses for the sale of consumable vapor products in the corporate limits and police jurisdiction of the city of Mobile.’’ The motion for immediate consideration was approved and the council voted in favor of the ordinance on the same day.

The ordinance was taken up under rules waived for immediate consideration; the clerk presented the ordinance number and language on the record and the council approved it by voice vote. The meeting transcript does not record a roll-call vote tally in the public record excerpt provided.
