Knox, Jr City A torney L �4 July 6, 1977 Proposed Ordinance clarify- ing licensing of professional corporations Professional corporations are currently licensed under the "Other - Licenses (not specifically designated)" part of Sec. 30-28 of the Miami Code. A law suit has been brought and is currently being litigated based mainly on the plaintiff's claim that without the specific designation, professional corporations cannot be separately licensed. The proposed ordinance regarding this matter clarifies this situation. It is recommended that this ordinance be passed on first reading on July 14, 1976, and on second reading as soon thereafter as possible so that it will be in effect during the current license year which ends on October 1, 1977.
