§ 1.11-1108. Temporary Ordinances.
(a) The Board may at any meeting held within ninety (90) days after the effective date of this Charter, adopt temporary ordinances to deal with cases in which there is urgent need for prompt action in connection with the transition of government, and in which the delay incident to the appropriate ordinance procedure would probably cause serious hardship or impairment of effective County government. Every temporary ordinance shall be plainly labeled as such but shall be introduced in the form and manner prescribed for ordinances generally.
(b) A temporary ordinance may be considered and may be adopted without amendment at the meeting at which it is introduced, except that the public hearing requirements shall be observed for ordinances as prescribed in § 1.3-310(b) of this Charter. After enactment of a temporary ordinance, the Board shall cause it to be printed and published, as prescribed for other enacted ordinances. A temporary ordinance shall not be subject to referendum and shall become effective upon enactment or at such later time as it may specify.
(c) Every temporary ordinance, including any amendments made thereto after enactment, shall automatically stand repealed as of the effective date of the Administrative Code and shall not be re-enacted, renewed, or otherwise continued except in the manner prescribed in Article III of this Charter for ordinances of the kind concerned.
