Sec. 24. (a) A director of a public transportation corporation may introduce a proposed draft of an ordinance at a meeting of the board of directors. A director who introduces a proposed draft of an ordinance must provide, at the time of introduction, a written copy of the proposed draft. The board must place the date of introduction and a distinguishing number on each proposed draft of an ordinance.

     (b) The board must publish a notice that the proposed ordinance is pending final action by the board. The notice must be published in accordance with IC 5-3-1. However, notice of an ordinance establishing a budget must be given in accordance with the statutes governing budgets of the municipality served by the corporation.

     (c) The board must include in the notice reference to the subject matter of the proposed ordinance and the time and place a hearing on it will be held, and must indicate that the proposed draft of an ordinance is available for public inspection at the office of the board. The board may include in one (1) notice a reference to the subject matter of each draft of an ordinance that is pending and for which notice has not previously been given. The reference to the subject matter is adequate if it is sufficient to advise the public of the general subject matter of the proposed ordinance.

     (d) The board must, not later than the date of notice of the introduction of a proposed ordinance, place five (5) copies of the proposed draft on file in the office of the board for public inspection.
