§ 32.47 PUBLICATION AND CERTIFICATION OF ORDINANCES IN BOOK FORM.

A new ordinance so published in book form, a summary of which has not been published as required by §§ 32.45 and 32.46 and which contains entirely new matter, shall be published as required by such sections. If such revision or codification is made by the municipality and contains new matter, it shall be a sufficient publication of such codification, including the new matter, to publish, in the manner required by such sections, a notice of the enactment of such codifying ordinance, containing the title of the ordinance and a summary of the new matters covered by it. Such revision and codification may be made under appropriate titles, chapters and sections and in one ordinance containing one or more subjects.

   (C)   If the agency which originally promulgated or published the code thereafter amends such code, the Legislative Authority may adopt such amendment or change by incorporation by reference in an amending ordinance by the same procedure as required for the adoption of the original code, without the necessity of setting forth in full in the amending ordinance the provisions of the original ordinance or code.
