HB 828 -- Third Class Cities

Sponsor:  Roorda

This bill establishes a procedure for residents of third class
cities to petition the city council for the adoption or repeal of
a city ordinance.  City councils may then pass the ordinance
within 20 days or put the issue to a public vote.  After passage
of an ordinance by a city council, a protest petition can be filed
that stops the ordinance from becoming effective and forces
reconsideration of the ordinance which results in either its
repeal or a public vote.  An ordinance proposed by the people or
adopted by a public vote can only be repealed or amended by a
public vote.
