| (a) Except to the extent otherwise provided by the
Act, an ordinance adopted by a participating municipality pursuant
to the Act takes effect on either (i) the effective date stated in
the ordinance, if the system receives the ordinance by the fifteenth
day of the month after the effective date; or (ii) the first day of
the month after the month in which the system receives the ordinance,
if the ordinance does not specify an effective date or is not received
by the system by the fifteenth day of the month after the specified
effective date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an ordinance adopted
under §853.003 of the Act becomes effective on the actual date
of final adoption by the participating municipality.
(b) Pursuant to §§855.102 and 855.201 of
the Act, the board authorizes the director of the system to approve
those ordinances requiring approval of the board, under §§853.403
and 854.203(g) of the Act. All ordinances approved by the director
shall be reported to the board at the next meeting.
(c) For any entity that is not a municipality but (i)
that is granted the standing of a municipality pursuant to §852.005
of the Act, or (ii) that the system determines to be a department
of a participating municipality for purposes of the Act where such
entity has a governing board separate from the governing body of the
municipality, the governing board of such entity may by board resolution,
or by other appropriate documentation normally taken by the governing
board to take action, take any action that is required or authorized
by the Act or this Part 6 of Title 34, Administrative Code, to be
made by municipal ordinance.
