There was a question on this several meetings ago and Mr. Hawkins has reviewed the House Moving Ordinance and has found several parts of the ordinance to 'be now illegal. The State has now eliminated the authority of the municipality to license and require insurance and bond house movers. The State does allow the municipality to require a permit and regulate hours and routing, etc. Mr. Hawkins believes that during codification the codifier should eliminate those sections that are now illegal.
