(A) As histories for the code sections, the passage date of the original ordinance and amending ordinances, if any, are listed following the text of the code section.
Example: (Ord. passed 5-13-1960; Ord. passed 1-1-1970; Ord. passed 1-1-1980; Ord. passed 1-1-1985)
(B) (1) If a statutory cite is included in the history, this indicates that the text of the section reads substantially the same as the statute.
Example: (G.S. §§ 139-1 et seq.) (Ord. passed 1-17-1980; Ord. passed 1-1-1985)
(2) If a statutory cite is set forth as a “statutory reference” following the text of the section, this indicates that the reader should refer to that statute for further information.
Example:
This town shall make available to any person for inspection or copying all public records, unless otherwise exempted by state law.
Statutory reference:
