HB 132 (Municipal Business Licensing Amendments)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

Current law allows cities to require home-based businesses to obtain permits and pay fees as a condition of operating in the resident's home. These fees can often be significant compared to the revenue such businesses produce. This bill would largely carve out such small, home-based businesses, exempting them from licensure and fees.

Libertas Institute supports this bill. As no regulation is needed of lawful commercial enterprises conducted within one's home, cities should not be allowed to require such businesses to pay fees—since no corresponding services are provided to them for such payment.
