Line 1:	Line 1:
	+ The Davis Municipal Code is basically the book of laws that govern the City of Davis. + + Every time the city council passes an ordinance, that ordinance becomes part of the municipal code. Whether or not the ordinance takes effect immediately is something that is determined on a case-by-case basis. + + The city council has fairly broad discretion in what laws it can pass, but the council's lawmaking powers are limited by the state constitution and any state laws that supersede municipal ordinances. +
Line 69:	Line 75:
	+ * I've incorporated my answers to these questions into the top of the page. As far as how often it changes, it's really up to how productive the council is feeling. They seem to pass a few new ordinances a year. --["Users/OscarSabino"]
