Text of statute as originally enacted

The Sahosam Ordinance Act is a law in Osolia, passed by the Osolian Assembly with 100% approval. This act converts the Streets and Roads Act into an ordinance for Sahosam, which effectively makes the act apply only in the city of Sahosam. This allows Beryzam and other cities to follow their own rules for street and road design.

The Sahosam Ordinance Act is itself federal Chiefdom law, but the Streets and Roads Act is no longer so.

Background

On October 21, 2024, Chief tz_scion proposed the Sahosam Transportation Act, seeking to limit the Streets and Roads Act to only apply in Sahosam, in preparation for the new city of Beryzam. Speaker Webb proposed that instead of various federal laws that only apply in one or the other city, that the Constitution should be reformed to allow cities to pass their own ordinances, or city laws.

After some discussion, the City Reform Amendment was passed on November 1, 2024, which, among a few other things, allowed cities to have their own ordinances.

Scion then amended his Sahosam Transportation Act to form the Sahosam Ordinance Act, which simply voided the Streets and Roads Act and allowed it to instead become a Sahosam ordinance. The bill was formally proposed in its final state on November 7, 2024, and was approved by 100% of Assembly voters (with 1 abstention) on November 8, 2024.
