As a result of the request, Mr. Canavan developed two ordinances that related to “bartering” and “solicitation by coercion.”
He explained that “begging” could not be outlawed due to it being a constitutionally protected freedom of speech; but “bartering” could have restrictions. An example given as bartering was ‘will work for food.’
He stated that City of Oklahoma City recently adopted an ordinance setting a license requirement with a fee of $60.00 ($30.00 for investigation of the applicant’s background and $30.00 for the license).

After due and careful consideration, Ordinance No. 1965NS was introduced and the title read aloud.
