The City of St. Louis's plan to regulate street performers has hit a snag.
A federal judge issued an injunction yesterday (Tuesday) that prevents the city from charging $50 for individual permits and $100 for group permits.
The city also wanted to require auditions for street performers, which the ACLU says was the first attempt of its kind in a major city.
The injunction issued by a U.S. District Judge says the city must also refund any performers who paid the $50 fee.

Another rash of smash and grabs happened within minutes of each other overnight.
Two beauty supply stores and a gas station are the latest to be targeted.
The most recent happened just before 5:30 this morning at Paradise Beauty Supply off Goodfellow and West Florissant.
Police report four men drove a Dodge Ram truck into the front of the store and stole a cash register and hair extensions worth $500 each.
The first burglary happened at a gas station in Bellefontaine Neighbors after the business’ front door was smashed in around 4:45 a.m. A half hour later a Sally Beauty Supply on West Florissant near I-270 was hit. Police in St. Louis city and county said they do not have anyone in custody in connection to the three incidents.
The latest string of smash-and-grabs mark at least the 10th such crime in the St. Louis area over the past few weeks.
On Tuesday, thieves stole items from a Central West End Radio Shack after apparently using a truck to ram the cinder-block back of the store.
According to police, the thieves stole several flat-screen televisions and laptop computers totaling more than $1,000 in value.
