(a) A member of the commission may introduce
a proposed draft of an ordinance at a meeting of the commission. A
person who introduces a proposed draft of an ordinance shall provide
at the time of introduction a written copy of the proposed draft. The
commission shall assign to each proposed draft of an ordinance a
distinguishing number, and the date when introduced.
(b) Not more than seven (7) days after the introduction of a
proposed draft of an ordinance nor less than seven (7) days before the
final passage of a proposed draft of an ordinance, the commission shall
publish a notice that the proposed ordinance is pending final action by
the commission. The notice shall be published one (1) time in each of
two (2) daily newspapers which have a general circulation in the
jurisdiction of the commission.
(c) The commission shall include in the notice reference to the
subject matter of the proposed ordinance and the time and place
hearing will be held thereon and shall indicate that the proposed draft
of an ordinance is available for public inspection at the office of the
commission. The commission may include in one (1) notice a reference
to the subject matter of each draft of an ordinance which is pending and
for which notice has not been given.
(d) An ordinance shall not be invalid because the reference to the
subject matter of the draft of an ordinance was inadequate if sufficient
to advise the public of the general subject matter of the proposed
ordinance.
(e) The commission shall 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 commission for public
inspection.
(f) At a meeting for which notice has been given as required by this
section, the commission may take final action on the proposed
ordinance or may postpone final consideration thereof to a designated
meeting in the future without giving additional notice.
