Ordinances

Local lawmaking on the shared Legislative Engine.

Inside Ordinances

Council bill filing, readings, committee referral, votes, mayoral approval or veto, publication — and codification into a living, point-in-time-versioned municipal code. The same engine that runs a national congress runs the city council.

Everything this module does

The full capability set — nothing hidden behind a toggle.

Council bill lifecycle: Filing, first reading, committee referral, second and third readings with roll-call votes — the pack encodes the local charter's procedure.
Mayoral action: Approval, veto, and override workflows with the pack's thresholds; every signature PKI-backed.
Publication & effectivity: Enacted ordinances publish to the local gazette channel with effectivity dating handled automatically.
Living municipal code: Ordinances codify into a consolidated code with point-in-time versioning — the zoning rule as it stood when the permit was filed is one query.
Amendment threading: Amendments, repeals, and renumbering thread through the code's history without erasing what the law used to say.

How it connects to other offices

Typed, receipted, audited messages move between suites — no folders lost between agencies.
