Council approves ordinance change affecting independent pharmacy license fees
Summary
Council held a public hearing and approved an ordinance amending Chapter 20, Section 35 to implement the 2023 legislative change for independent pharmacy licensing and fee caps; vote was recorded as unanimous among members present.
The Sulphur City Council on March 10 approved an ordinance amending Chapter 20, Section 35 of the city code to align business license fees for independent pharmacies with a 2023 state legislative provision that sets a sales-based licensing structure with a minimum of $50 and a maximum cap (the transcript referenced a $2,000 maximum).
The mayor summarized the legislative change, saying the state law requires independent pharmacies’ licenses to be based on gross sales within set minimum and maximum thresholds. The council opened the item for public comment; none was offered, and the council proceeded to a vote.
The motion passed with members recorded voting in favor (as listed in the meeting roll-call). The ordinance introduction and public hearing were completed during the meeting; the council gave final approval on the record.
