The South Bend Common Council has passed a resolution regarding balloon releases within city limits, but it’s less harsh than the first ordinance.

WNDU reports that the original wording in February included a $25 fine for intentionally releasing balloons, something critics judged to be too harsh.

Instead, the council will condemn intentional balloon releases, and work to educate the public about the environmental hazards of doing so.
