Local government; codification of ordinances; affirmative defense. Provides that any person who is the subject of an action brought by a locality for violation of an ordinance that is not codified is entitled to assert as an affirmative defense that the ordinance was not codified and therefore failed to provide adequate notice to the public of the contents of the ordinance. The bill also allows localities to codify all ordinances in an online format so as to be easily accessed by other governmental entities and the public.

Local government; codification of ordinances, affirmative defense.
