Bill Summary
Establishes requirements for physical copies of a municipal code a municipal clerk keeps on file
AI Summary
This bill modifies the requirements for how municipal clerks maintain physical copies of municipal codes (general ordinances). Under the revised law, if a municipality does not provide its general ordinances online for free public inspection, the municipal clerk must keep at least three copies of the published ordinance book on file and make them available for public review during regular business hours. Conversely, if the ordinances are already freely accessible online, the clerk is now only required to maintain one physical copy on file for public inspection. This change aims to balance accessibility of municipal laws with practical storage considerations, potentially reducing the number of physical copies required when digital alternatives are available, while still ensuring public access to important local government documents.
