Bill > HB1829

This bill modifies the requirements for how municipal clerks maintain physical copies of municipal code books. Specifically, the bill creates two different scenarios based on whether a municipality's general ordinances are available online for free public access. If the ordinances are not available online, the municipal clerk must keep at least three copies of the published ordinance book on file and make them available for public inspection during regular business hours. If the ordinances are available online at no cost, the clerk is only required to maintain one physical copy of the published book, which must still be kept accessible to the public during business hours. This change provides flexibility for municipalities with online ordinance systems while ensuring that citizens always have a way to review local laws, either through digital or physical means.
