BACKGROUND:
In late January 2018 SB 946 was introduced by Senator Lara. MPT Pettis requested that staff prepare an agenda item so that Council can discuss the bill and determine if they want to take a position on the legislation.
DISCUSSION:
The bill, as currently written would curtail a City's ability to regulate street vendors. The League of Cities has not yet taken a position on the bill, although they typically oppose legislation that weakens local control.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Unknown at this time.
