HB 2806 Local government; codification of ordinances, affirmative defense.
Introduced by: Dave A. LaRock | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Local government; codification of ordinances; affirmative defense. Requires each locality to codify all ordinances, in permanently bound or loose-leaf form or in an online format so as to be easily accessed by other governmental entities and the public. The bill provides that any person who is the subject of an action brought by a locality for violation of an ordinance is entitled to assert as an affirmative defense that the ordinance was not codified and therefore failed to provide adequate notice to the public of the contents of the ordinance.
