B. There are presently a number of businesses who have
never obtained a business license. If they obtain a
business license at this time, they will be subject to
penalty fees under Section 2521(c).

unlicensed businesses were encouraged to license. The
City Council finds that a three month amnesty period,
during the months of April, May and June 1994, during
which no penalties would be due for prior failure to
pay license taxes when due, would encourage unlicensed.
businesses to license during those months.

of no force and effect during the months of April, May
and June 1994. All businesses that pay license fees
