Supervisors meet to update ordinances after mass shooting in Clay County
SUMMARY: Following a mass shooting at the Oasis nightclub last month, five leaders in Clay County are tightening rules and regulations for nightclub owners. The Sheriff stated that the nightclub violated several ordinances by allowing minors to attend the party where one person was killed and 12 others were injured. The updated ordinance will change permit fees, increase security measures, and better regulate security camera policies at nightclubs. The goal is to protect the public and ensure that businesses are operating in a safe and orderly manner. The shooting remains unsolved, and authorities are taking steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
Clay County supervisors plan to finalize updates to the county’s ordinances this week.
