Ordinances

Ordinances provide legal action and historical context for code sections. Common ordinance fields include:
  • ordinance_id
  • ordinance_number
  • ordinance_number_normalized
  • adoption_date
  • effective_from
  • status
The API uses ordinances as both direct resources and lineage-linked context records. For non-technical evaluators, ordinances are the bridge between codified text and legal change history.

​
For developers

Developer-facing implementation serves ordinance detail from canonical ordinance records with summary projections for list/search workflows.
