§ 26-1. Legislative findings.

The legislative body of the Town of Malta finds that:

A. 

The Town Board of the Town of Malta must periodically amend, modify or supplement the various chapters of the Town Code of the Town of Malta.

B. 

Current New York State law (§§ 264 and 265 and other sections of the Town Law) requires that after a local law is adopted, the entire law must be published in the official periodical of the municipality for said law to be valid.

C. 

The New York State Municipal Home Rule Law § 1 et seq. permits a municipality to adopt a law which legislates that an abstract or summary of the law be published rather than the entire law, provided that the same gives adequate notice to the public.

D. 

The Town Board believes that an abstract or summary will provide proper legal notice to the public, while at the same time reducing unnecessary expenditures by the Town.
