Niles village trustees approved an ordinance that would require groups of 50 people or more to get a permit in order to gather.

The Niles village board approved an ordinance requiring parades, protests and any kind of public assembly to seek permits, and a security deposit on insurance, for gatherings of more than 50 people at Monday’s board meeting.Critics said vague wording in the original ordinance about a proposed ban on “indecent shows” could be used to unfairly target LGBTQ-oriented events Niles, similar to bans set in place in Florida.

At the August 22, 2023 village board meeting, Niles trustees voted to require gatherings of over 50 people to apply for and obtain permits. Strzelecki, who served as Niles Police chief until his 2014 retirement, defended the ordinance, saying that it is not meant to hinder First Amendment rights and is instead meant as a public safety rule for large crowds. “Once you start getting large, or larger groups, now we worry about not only village property, and illage and other personal properties,” said Strzelecki.
