Editor’s note:
   This article derives from the 1976 South Carolina Code of Laws, the town questionnaire and generally accepted municipal practices.
§ 2.201  ORDINANCES.
   a.   It shall be the duty of the Council to pass, from time to time, such ordinances as in its judgment shall best promote the interests of the citizens and property owners of the municipality.
(Ops. S.C. Atty. Gen. dated November 25, 1986)
   b.   All ordinances should be numbered. Many municipalities use only a number without using the year, such as No. 23, No. 24, and the like. In other municipalities, however, ordinance numbers begin with the year of adoption followed by 1, 2, 3, and the like, for example: No. 04-1, No. 04-2, No. 04-3, and the like.)
(S.C. Code § 5-7-30)  (Prior Code, § 2.201)
§ 2.202  SAME; SIX DAYS BETWEEN READINGS; AMENDMENTS.
   a.   No ordinance shall be adopted until it shall have been read two times and on two separate days with at least six days between each reading.
   b.   The introduction and reading of any ordinance may be by the reading of the title only, unless full reading is requested by a majority of Council members present.
   c.   An ordinance may be amended at the time of a second reading.
(S.C. Code § 5-7-270)  (Prior Code, § 2.202)

   c.   The book shall contain the dates of first and second readings of all ordinances, notation of repeals or amendments, whether or not the ordinance is to be codified and a brief summary of the contents.
