The Local Government Amendment Bill will now go to the House of Keys last debates
The Legislative Council has given its final approval to the Local Government Amendment bill and the 'contentious' clause five.
It will now be sent back to the House of Keys for its last debate and approval in the new year - if it's passed, the bill will go forward for Royal Assent.
The new clause five has been heavily criticised by local authorities, but the rest of the legislation is seen as an improvement and will support their operations.
However, MLC Rob Mercer said the council 'scrutinised' the bill and believes the appropriate safeguards have been introduced:
King to visit the Isle of Man
Court for taxi driver accused of asking customer to perform sex acts
Kewaigue Hill set to close for three days later this week
Local branch of charity donates £2000 to those affected by Venezuela earthquakes
