Council approves ordinance updating South Bend's business-license threshold to $4,000
Summary
The council voted to approve Ordinance 16 o 6, updating South Bend Municipal Code chapter 3.13 to reflect a state law change that raises the business-license threshold from $2,000 to $4,000.
The council approved Ordinance 16 o 6 on a voice vote after the chair described the change as a state-driven update.
"They've made a legislative change from 2,000 to 4,000 in the amount the threshold amount before you have to pay," the Chair said while introducing the ordinance and the requested language. The ordinance amends chapter 3.13 of the South Bend Municipal Code to align the city's business-license threshold with the state law. A member moved to approve the ordinance and the motion carried without a recorded roll-call.
The chair characterized the change as mandatory because it "came down from the state," and the council approved the measure at first reading. No amendments or conditions were recorded during the discussion.
Provenance: The ordinance introduction appears when the chair reads the ordinance language and cites the state change (SEG 028'0, SEG 032'0).
