(A) An ordinance, order, or resolution passed by the Common Council is considered adopted when it is:
(1) Signed by the presiding officer; and
(2) Either approved by the Mayor or passed over his veto by the Common Council, under IC 36-4-6-16. If required by statute, an adopted ordinance, order, or resolution must be promulgated or published before it takes effect.
(B) An ordinance prescribing a penalty or forfeiture for a violation must, before it takes effect, be published in the manner prescribed by IC 5-3-1 unless:
(1) It is published under division (C); or
(2) There is an urgent necessity requiring its immediate effectiveness, the Mayor proclaims the urgent necessity, and copies of the ordinance are posted in three public places in each of the districts from which members are elected to the legislative body.
(C) If a city publishes any of its ordinances in book or pamphlet form, no other publication is required. If an ordinance prescribing a penalty or forfeiture for a violation is published under this division, it takes effect two weeks after the publication of the book or pamphlet. Publication under this division, if authorized by the legislative body, constitutes presumptive evidence:
(1) Of the ordinances in the book or pamphlet;
(2) Of the date of adoption of the ordinances; and
(3) That the ordinances have been properly signed, attested, recorded, and approved.
(D) This section does not apply to a zoning ordinance or amendment to a zoning ordinance, or a resolution approving a comprehensive plan, that is adopted under IC 36-7.
