No local law, except a local law adopted pursuant to Article 17 of the
General Municipal Law, shall be adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Nassau until a public hearing has been held thereon in its final form before
such Board of Trustees not less than three (3) nor more than thirty (30) days
after public notice has been given of the time and place of the holding of
such public hearing. Such notice shall be given by the Village Clerk by causing
the same to be published once in the official newspaper of the village. Such
notice shall contain the title of the proposed local law and a brief explanatory
statement thereof.
The Village Clerk shall cause to be printed or otherwise reproduced
copies of such proposed local law and shall, not later than the day such notice
is published, post one (1) such copy, together with the notice of hearing,
in a conspicuous place in his office and shall also make copies of such proposed
local law available at his office for inspection by and distribution to any
interested person during business hours.
The Village Clerk shall forthwith, upon the adoption of a local law
by the Board of Trustees, post a copy thereof in a conspicuous place in his
office and shall, within ten (10) days after such adoption, cause the local
law or an abstract thereof describing the same in general terms to be published
in the official newspaper of the village.
Proof of publication of the notice of public hearing required by §
15-1 hereof and proof of posting and publication required by §
15-3 hereof shall be filed in the office of the Village Clerk.
Each local law shall be numbered consecutively, beginning with number
one (1) for each calendar year. When a local law is finally adopted and certified
copies thereof are required by § 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law
to be filed in the offices of the Village Clerk, the State Comptroller and
the Secretary of State, the Village Clerk shall accordingly assign to such
local law its appropriate number.
