EASTPOINTE, Mich. (AP) — A new ordinance requires psychics or fortune tellers who want to work in Eastpointe to detail any past criminal convictions in order to get a license.

The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens reports that the Eastpointe City Council recently finalized a fortune telling ordinance. Councilwoman Veronica Klinefelt says new regulations were largely in response to newspaper articles detailing how people were being financially victimized by unscrupulous psychics.

Eastpointe council members began studying the issue last year. A license costs $150 through the City Clerk's Office and must be renewed annually.
