The Legislative History view lists all the legislation on record for the jurisdiction in reverse chronological order. To view it, click the Track button in the main navigation bar, then click “Legislative History.”
Enactments (legislation) are included when they have affected the code(s) on this site, are available in PDF format, or are listed for historic reference.
The view can be filtered by type of legislation, year of adoption, and current effective status.
To view the legislative history of a particular code section, click the “History of This Section” button in a section’s heading, or click the abbreviated history note that appears at the end of the section.
In the dialog that appears, amendments to the section will be listed by date and link to the enactments that made those amendments. (Some sections may not have histories available, in which case the button will be greyed out.)
Clicking on any enactment in the Legislative History view or a History of This Section dialog opens a separate dialog with more information on the enactment, including any affected sections in the code(s) on this site.
In the Tables section at the end of a code, an Ordinance Table, Resolution Table, or similar may appear. These tables lists all available enactments in a print-ready format, similar to that which appears in any print version of the code.
If an enactment is codified, its location in the code is cited by chapter number at the end of the enactment description. Enactments are usually codified if they are general, permanent, and/or include penalty provisions for noncompliance. “Not codified” indicates that the enactment could have been codified but was not for some reason (e.g., superseded by a later enactment, codified in a separate publication). “Special” means the enactment was special in nature or for a specific period of time (e.g., budget, annexation, tax levy).
As noted in the text with blue background, the Legislative History view (see above) offers more features than the print-style table(s).
