§ 28796 Ordinance Signing Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •Every new rule or law must be signed by the leader or second-in-command of the group in charge.
  • •The group's secretary must also confirm that the rule or law is real by signing it too.
  • •This makes sure the rule or law is official and not fake.

Example

A town wants to make a new rule that says dogs must be on a leash in the park.

The mayor (or the vice mayor if the mayor is away) must sign the new rule, and the town secretary must also sign to prove it’s a real rule. If they don’t sign, the rule isn’t official, and people might not follow it.
