SB 1489 was signed into law by the Governor and <br />became effective January 1, 2023. The new law amends Government Code Section <br />36934 by providing for an exception to the general rule that ordinances be read in full or <br />by title. Prior to Senate Bill 1489, city ordinances were required to be read in full either <br />at the time of introduction or passage, except when, after reading the title, further <br />reading is waived by regular motion adopted by a majority vote of the legislative body. <br />A legislative body may dispense with reading an ordinance in full or by title provided <br />the full title of the ordinance is included on the published agenda; and a copy of the full <br />text of the Ordinance is made available to the public online and in print at the meeting <br />prior to the introduction or passage. <br />Special CC_March 13, 2023 <br />Page 1 <br />
