THIS CITY’s lawmakers will update the 22-year old Codified Ordinance.
During their regular session, city councilors adopted Resolution No. 12452-2016, authorizing City Vice Mayor Raineir Joaquin Uy to create a Codification Committee to update the City Codified Ordinance in view of the number of ordinances enacted by the Sangguniang Panlungsod since its adoption in 1994.
In his special report, Councilor Ian Mark Nacaya, chair of the committee on laws and rules, said it is time for the legislative body to update the Codified Ordinance, which was enacted 22 years ago.
“I was a member then, being the president of the Sangguniang Kabataan federation, when the city council considered and introduced a laudable measure that would lump, codify and produce it into one book from all the legislative measures that were enacted in 1950s up to the time when the codified ordinance was approved in 1994,” Nacaya said.
According to the councilor, many years have already passed and several laws have been enacted since 1994.
“It’s about time…a piece of legislation that we may perhaps consider as a legacy of the 18th City Council to the next generations of members of the sanggunian for any and all measures that our constituency or even from other sanggunians to look into… copying, imitating and or modeling, it would be the codified ordinance enacted by the 18th City Council,” Nacaya added.
