§ 1-6. Amendments to Code; effect of new ordinances; amendatory language.  


Latest version.
  • All ordinances passed subsequent to this Code which amend, repeal or in any way affect this Code, may be numbered in accordance with the numbering system of this Code and printed for inclusion therein. When subsequent ordinances repeal any chapter, section or subsection or any portion thereof, such repealed portions may be excluded from this Code by omission from reprinted pages. The subsequent ordinances as numbered and printed, or omitted in the case of repeal, shall be prima facie evidence of such subsequent ordinances until such time as this Code and subsequent ordinances numbered or omitted are re-adopted as a new code of ordinances.

    Amendments to any of the provisions of this Code may be made by amending such provisions by specific reference to the section number of this Code or other appropriate part or parts of the section in substantially the following language:

    "BE IT ORDAINED by the Plaquemines Parish Commission Council: Section _____ of the Code of Ordinances, Plaquemines Parish Council, is hereby amended to read as follows: …".

    The new provisions may then be set out in full as desired.

    In the event that a new section heretofore existing in this Code is to be added, the following language may be used:

    "BE IT ORDAINED by the Plaquemines Parish Commission Council: The Code of Ordinances, Plaquemines Parish Commission Council is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered _____ which section reads as follows: …".

    The new section may then be set out in full as desired.
