Bill NO. 67-18 <br /> ORDINANCE NO. 10640-19 <br /> AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, <br /> INDIANA AMENDING ONE SUB-PART EACH OF SECTIONS 13-126 AND 13-127, <br /> CHAPTER 13, ARTICLE 11 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICPAL CODE, BY <br /> REMOVING CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TATTOO PRACTITIONER AND <br /> PREMISES LICENSING <br /> STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT <br /> The current version of the tattoo practitioner and tattoo premises licensing regulations at South <br /> Bend Municipal Code Chapter 13, Article 11, Sections 13-126 and 13-127 each contain <br /> prohibitions upon issuing permits to persons who have been"convicted of a felony"or who have <br /> "been convicted of drug or alcohol violations." These restrictions have the effect of forever <br /> barring certain persons who have led a crime free life for many years from making a gainful <br /> living, or whose felony or drug/alcohol related criminal convictions may have little relevance to <br /> the specialized practice of tattoo making. These types of outright restrictions do not apply to City <br /> licenses issued to restaurants, arborist and tree removal, automotive repair, and peddlers. The <br /> City of Mishawaka, Indiana, removed these criminal conviction restrictions from their tattoo <br /> practice license on April 3, 2017. <br /> Moreover, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission(EEOC) in 2012 issued a Guidance <br /> for Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of <br /> the Civil Rights Act of 1964, No. 915.002 4/25/2012. That Guidance states that outright bans for <br /> all felony convictions may be discriminatory because they have an adverse impact upon African <br /> Americans and Hispanic persons whose rate of incarceration, particularly for drug related <br /> offenses, is much higher than for the general population and may reflect institutional factors of <br /> discrimination. <br /> It is in the best interest of the City of South Bend to amend the South Bend Municipal Code for <br /> the above stated reasons. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of <br /> South Bend, Indiana as follows: <br /> SECTION I. Chapter 13, Article 11, Section 13-126 shall be amended at sub-part (c) to <br /> read as follows: <br /> (c)No applicant for a practitioner's license shall be issued such license if he or she: <br /> (1) Has not met the minimal training and education requirements in order to be <br /> considered for a practitioner's license with the lack thereof being considered an inability. <br /> (2) Has been convicted of a felony. <br /> (4) (2) Has been determined by a licensed medical physician to be mentally incompetent. <br /> (5)_() Has failed to meet the applicable regulations of this Article. <br /> SECTION II. Chapter 13, Article 11, Section 13-127 shall be amended at sub-part (a) <br /> (11) to read as follows: <br /> (a) A person or entity who desires to have a place of business which will provide any services <br /> regulated by this Article shall apply for a license from the Office of the City Controller on forms <br /> provided from said office. Said application shall contain the following: <br />
