§ 1.3-308. Ordinance Requirements.

 A proposed ordinance may be introduced by any member of the Board or by the Board as a whole. A proposed ordinance shall be submitted in writing and shall be limited to one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in the title. Any proposed ordinance may incorporate by reference all or any part of a technical code or acts of the General Assembly. No proposed ordinance except an emergency ordinance may be finally adopted at the meeting at which it is introduced. Prior to the adoption of an ordinance, it may be amended, provided that the amendment is submitted in writing. Amendments during the legislative process shall require the same number of votes required for final passage of the ordinance. If the amendment changes the ordinance substantially, and if a public hearing was required for the ordinance, a separate public hearing shall be required with respect to the amendment. Adoption of any ordinance or amendment thereto may occur no sooner than the next following regular or special meeting of the Board held at least six (6) days after the proposed ordinance or amendment was introduced.
