§ 36-9-4-24 — Introduction of proposed ordinances; public notice

(a) A director of a public transportation
corporation may introduce a proposed draft of an ordinance at a
meeting of the board of directors. A director who introduces a proposed
draft of an ordinance must provide, at the time of introduction, a
written copy of the proposed draft. The board must place the date of
introduction and a distinguishing number on each proposed draft of an
ordinance.
(b) The board must publish a notice that the proposed ordinance is
pending final action by the board. The notice must be published in
accordance with IC 5-3-1. However, notice of an ordinance
establishing a budget must be given in accordance with the statutes
governing budgets of the municipality served by the corporation.
(c) The board must include in the notice reference to the subject
matter of the proposed ordinance and the time and place a hearing on
it will be held, and must indicate that the proposed draft of an
ordinance is available for public inspection at the office of the board.
The board may include in one (1) notice a reference to the subject
matter of each draft of an ordinance that is pending and for which
notice has not previously been given. The reference to the subject
matter is adequate if it is sufficient to advise the public of the general
subject matter of the proposed ordinance.
(d) The board must, not later than the date of notice of the
introduction of a proposed ordinance, place five (5) copies of the
proposed draft on file in the office of the board for public inspection.
