- The legal concepts you need to know in order to draft valid by-laws
- The key matters that should be considered prior to drafting a by-law including rationale for licensing, advertising rules for public meetings, and limitations on licensing fees
- The organization and style of by-laws including appropriate language and structure, as well as how to correctly insert amendments
- The basic structural components of a licensing by-law
Plus, features a sample draft by-law that can be tailored to suit different businesses in your municipality. Extensive notes are included to assist in the drafting process and suggest content modifications.
