(CARMEL) - A Carmel City Council committee decided to table a proposed anti-discrimination ordinance.
The ordinance would impose a $500 fine on any business that discriminated against customers on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.
Carmel's councilors decided to send the ordinance back to attorneys for review - meaning it won't return to the full council at next Monday's meeting. The full council will likely take the issue back up in October.
Similar ordinances passed recently in Columbus, Terre Haute, Hammond and Muncie.
