Eliminate health department permit requirement for keeping bees
In Plain English
The city currently requires residents to get a health department permit before keeping bees on their property. If approved, beekeepers no longer need city permission to start or maintain hives. This removes regulatory barriers for backyard beekeeping while keeping other safety rules in place.
