Harford County Seal
On Monday, Bel Air, Maryland joined the rest of Harford County in repealing its ban on fortune-telling.
By a vote of 4-1, the Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance that updates the definition of fortune-telling, taking out references to the occult, as well as designating acceptable zones of practice.
Going forward, psychic businesses will be permitted to operate in B-3 business zones. They must be 1,000 feet from schools or any other fortune-telling establishment.
The board tried to pass a similar amendment in March, but faced protests from residents opposed to the changes.
