Existing law requires the county board of supervisors, within 15 days after the passage of an ordinance by the board, to publish the ordinance with the names of those members voting for and against the ordinance, in a newspaper published in the county, except as specified. Existing law requires that an ordinance not published, as specified, within this 15-day period is to not take effect until 30 days after the date of its publication. Existing law authorizes a county board of supervisors to meet this publication requirement by publishing a summary of a proposed ordinance or proposed amendment to an existing ordinance, under specified conditions that include, among other requirements, publishing the summary and posting a certified copy of the full text of the proposed ordinance or proposed amendment in the office of the clerk of the board of supervisors at least 5 days prior to the board of supervisors meeting at which the proposed ordinance or amendment is to be adopted. This bill would modify the requirements for a county board of supervisors to publish a summary of a proposed ordinance or proposed amendment to an existing ordinance to meet the publication requirement for an ordinance to take effect, including, among other new requirements, posting on the county's Internet Web site.
