THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Chuck and Stephanie Fromm were cited last year after authorities said they were in violation of municipal code 9-3.301, which bars “religious, fraternal or non-profit” gatherings of more than three people in residential neighborhoods without a costly permit. Stephanie held a weekly Bible study that drew about 20 people, while Chuck held a Sunday service that attracted about 50. The Southern California city ultimately refunded the Fromms their fine after their story sparked a massive outcry, and on Tuesday the city council voted to change its code so that such home-based religious gatherings will not require permits. According to KCBS, the change conforms with the California Building Code, which does not require permits for such gatherings with less than 50 participants. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/calif-city-changes-zoning-code-to-allow-home-bible-study-after-couple-was-fined/ |

Good on San Juan Capistrano, CA for changing their fucking stupid rules and refunding the couple's money. Fuck them for putting the rule into place in the first place.
